Scientific skills:
- science process skills
- manipulative skills
Science process skills:
- Enable students to formulate their questions & find out the answer systematically
Description
Observing
- Using our five senses that is sense of hearing, touch, smell, taste &sight to collect information about an objects or phenomena
Classifying
- The objects or events are grouped according to similarities & differences.
Measuring and using numbers
- Making quantitative observations using numbers & tools with standardized units.
- Measuring makes observation more accurate
Inferring
- Conclusions and explanation of events based on past experiences or previously collected data
Predicting
- Stating outcome of a future event based on prior knowledge gained through experiences or collected data
Communicating
- Words / graphic symbols(tables, graphs, figures or models) are
used
- To describe an action, object or event
Using space-time relationship
- Describing changes in parameter with time
- for estimation
- Parameter: location, direction, shape, size, volume, mass & weight
Interpreting data
- Giving rational explanations about an object, event or pattern derived from collected data
Defining operationally
- Concepts are defined by describing what must be done and observed
Controlling variables
- Identify fixed, manipulated, and responding variables in an investigation
- Fixed variable is kept constant
- Manipulated variable is changed to observe its relationship with responding variable
Hypothesizing
- General statement on relationship between manipulated and responding variable is made
- This statement can be tested to determine its validity
Experimenting
- Plan and conduct activities to test certain hypothesis
- The activities include collecting, analyzing, interpreting data and making conclusions
- The conclusion can be based on hypothesis
