This article examines the impact of project-based learning (PBL) on the development of students’ experimental skills in biology lessons. Based on practical classroom observations, it has been demonstrated that PBL enhances active participation, teamwork, and creativity. Students develop the ability to formulate hypotheses, plan experiments, take precise measurements, and analyze results. Projects such as studying the growth of plants and microorganisms in water provide an opportunity to integrate theory with practice. PBL supports students’ motivation, deepens their understanding of biological concepts, and strengthens both practical and cognitive skills.
