Science Process Skills Overview

This document defines and provides examples of key science process skills: observation, classifying, measuring, communicating, inferring, and predicting. Observation involves using the senses to make notes on experiments. Classifying is grouping objects by characteristics. Measuring uses standard units to quantify dimensions. Communicating shares experiences. Inferring explains observations. Predicting makes educated guesses based on prior observations. Examples are given for each skill like classifying objects by mass or measuring the speed of a toy truck.
