    The document discusses the six basic science process skills of observation, classification, communication, measurement, inference, and prediction. It provides examples of how each skill can be used, such as observing using the five senses, classifying objects by properties like magnetism, communicating findings through graphs and diagrams, measuring attributes like length and mass, inferring conclusions from observations, and predicting future events. All the skills are important both individually and when integrated together in scientific experiments.

    Science Process Skills

    • There are six basic science process skills:


    • Observation
    • Classification
    • Communication
    • Measurement All the six basic skills are
    • Inference important individually as
    well as when they are
    • Prediction integrated together.
    Observing

    To use the five senses to learn about an object or event, or to collect


    information about an object.

    Examples:
    • The learner will be blind folded and make observations
    using the sense of touch.
    • The learner will create observations about a coin using
    the 5 senses.
    • The learner will mix primary colors to create more colors.
    Classifying

    To place an object or event in groups based on common characteristic.

    Examples:
    • The learner will use a magnet to classify objects as
    magnetic or nonmagnetic.
    • The learner will use a balance and sort objects according to
    mass.
    • The learner will combine different liquids with water to
    determine which is more or less.
    Measuring
    • To determine the length area, volume, mass or temperature to
    describe and quantify objects.

    Examples:
    • The learner will find the mass of different liquids
    that have the same volume.
    • The learner will use technology to find the speed of
    a toy truck.
    • The learner will measure the distance a marble
    travels.
    Communicating
    • To describe an object or event to another
    person.
    Examples:
    • The learner will create a line graph showing the relationship between speed and the
    mass of a marble.
    • The learner will discuss possible errors with other classmates.

    This can be done with graphs, diagrams, maps, and spoken


    word.
    Inferring and Predicting

    • To guess or draw a conclusion about an object or future event


    based on observation.

    Examples for inferring : Examples for predicting:


    • The learner will write a • The learner will predict what is
    conclusion at the end of each a box based on observations
    investigation. using the sense of touch.
    • The learner will create • The learner will write a
    inferences about observations hypothesis about the effect of
    they made about a mystery increasing the salt on the
    object. I infer it is solid rather buoyancy of an egg
    than hollow.
    Controlling variables: to study how attributes
    vary by manipulating variables.

    Experimenting: to put all the process skills


    together in one activity.

    Representing data: to organize your


    measurement to make your information easier to
    use and interpret.
