                              Manipulative Skills



                      Science manipulative skills need to be practised when a science experiment
                      or investigation is carried out. Manipulative skills will help us to carry out an
                      experiment or investigation more accurately. Let us recall the manipulative
                      skills involved in the following investigation.

                      Aim           To observe bread fungi using a microscope.

                      Apparatus
                      and           Microscope, cover slip, glass slide, dropper, needle, filter paper,
                      Materials     and mouldy bread


                      Steps

                        1                                          2












                       Use the mouldy bread as a specimen.        Use a needle to take some fungi from
                                                                  the bread. Place the specimen in the
                                                                  centre of a glass slide.

                       Drip drops of water onto the specimen       Put the cover slip gently on the specimen.
                       using a dropper.                            Wipe the edges of the cover slip with
