SKILLS
Learning about science will give us the ability to describe, explain, and predict natural phenomena as we ask or
determine answers to questions caused by our curiosity in our everyday experiences. We can develop technologies that
bring us the following advantages.
1. It helps make our life easier.
2. It helps us organize our daily activities.
3. It helps make work done faster and more efficient.
4. It helps us communicate more easily with others.
5. It helps us know and understand other cultures and societies.
The knowledge produced by science is used in some technologies to create products to serve our needs.
Now, where and when do we start learning science? To answer that, let’s picture ourselves in this scenario.
Have you been to a supermarket or palengke to buy food such as raw fish or meat, fruits, and vegetables?
Usually, when we are buying food items, we first check for their appearance if they look appealing or if they
have the same quality as those of the other items found in the rack.
Although we seem to be just buying food, we are using
what we call SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS.
Remember that science process skills are used in scientific
activities. By breaking down the steps in our thinking, we
can use these skills to determine how to answer a question
about how our world works.
