There is an issue of backwardness or gaps in the literature on the transition process from primary to secondary school from the perspective of this country (Noraini, 2009). These issues related to transition need to be examined further and analysed in detail. Hence, scientific research needs to be done with an appropriate methodology as an eye-opener to the relevant stakeholder in the local education context. The purpose of this study is to explore and investigate the acquisition of students’ manipulative skills during transition from primary school (end of grade 6) to secondary school (early grade 7) by employing a qualitative research approach. This study will therefore address the following research questions:(a) What are the students science manipulative skills during transition, and (b) What are the differences in the aspect of manipulative skills that could be identified among the students during transition?
