Science Process Skills for Learning

This document defines and provides examples of several key science process skills: observation, classifying, measuring, communicating, inferring, and predicting. Observation involves using the five senses to make notes about objects or events. Classifying is grouping objects based on similarities and differences. Measuring uses standard units to quantify dimensions. Communicating shares experiences. Inferring draws explanations from observations. Predicting makes educated guesses about future events based on past observations.
