The survey examined the correlation of Teachers’ content knowledge and skills on students’ attitude in biology in Akwa Ibom State. The teachers were given questionnaires on content knowledge and skills while the students were also given a questionnaire on students’ attitude to biology. One research question was formulated to guide this study. Three instruments were used to collect data. These include Teachers’ Content Knowledge of Biology Test (TCKBT), Teachers’ Skills in Biology Test (TSBT) and Students’ Attitude to Biology Questionnaire (SABQ). Six hundred students and fifteen teachers were used for the study. Data collected were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) to determine the relationship among the variables. Results showed that there is a negative, moderate significant relationship between teacher’s skills (r = 0.-0.552; p<0.05) and students’ attitude to Biology. There is therefore a correlation between teachers’ skills and students’ attitudes in biology. However, it was recommended that teachers’ pay attention to the content knowledge and skills, which affect the skills of students in biology.
