Science Process Skills Overview

The document defines and provides examples of science process skills including observing, classifying, measuring, communicating, inferring, and predicting. Observing involves using the 5 senses to make observations. Classifying involves grouping objects according to similarities and differences. Measuring involves collecting and comparing data, such as finding the mass of different liquids. Communicating shares experiences through graphs, diagrams, and words. Inferring makes explanations based on observations and prior knowledge. Predicting uses observations and inferences to make educated guesses.
