This study aimed to explore pre-university students’ manipulative skills and their understanding on mitosis concept. This qualitative study was divided into two parts, the laboratory practical observation and followed by think-aloud interview protocol. Five students aged 18 to 19 years old from a matriculation college in Penang, Malaysia participated in this study. The findings revealed the participants were well equipped with manipulative skills with a very few exceptions on certain skills.
