DESCRIPTION
SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
1. Using five sense. Using words to describe
what is seen, felt, heard, smelled and (if
appropriate) tasted. Notice detail. Break things
into parts. Name and describe the parts. Draw
what you see and label parts of the drawing.
2. Using numbers to describe an object, for
example by counting parts, measuring different
parts with a ruler, weighing scale or balance,
and comparing objects using quantities. (eg. 2
apples weigh the same as 1 mango)
3. Make up categories and group things by
breaking them down. (eg. These are all
buttons. Now I will put in a group buttons that
are red. Now in that group I will separate
buttons that are red with 2 holes and buttons
that are red with 3 holes, etc.)
4. What are your assumptions? (I assume this
in an insect because it has six legs, and when
I've seen insects before they have six legs.)
What have you seen before that remind you of
this? Why do you think that's going to happen?
5. What's going to happen? If I do this, this will
happen... How will we find out what will
happen? What are we going to do to find out
what happens?​
