Utilizing the Laboratory Structure and Task Analysis Inventory, this study examined the structure and skill level of the tasks in the practical activities prescribed in the revised Integrated Science for Caribbean Schools (ISCS), Books 1 and 2. The results signify that the tasks are highly structured and deductive in approach, with heavy emphasis on low-level skills. Some of the implications of the findings for the acquisition of scientific process skills by the users of the ISCS books and similar integrated science projects are discussed.
