Integrated Science Process Skills (ISPS) are a set of complex scientific inquiry activities that go beyond basic processes to provide problem-based answers. ISPS include organizing data, identifying variables, describing relationships between variables in experiments, designing investigations to test hypotheses, and formulating models to make parts of the world easier to understand by referencing existing knowledge. Manipulative skills also allow students to properly use, draw, clean, and store science apparatus and substances.

∙Organizing Data is the practice of
categorizing and classifying data to
make it more usable. In research, it is a
process of organizing collected factual
materials commonly accepted in the
scientific community as necessary to
validate research findings.

∙Identifying variables means stating the
changeable factors that can affect an
experiment. Variables are the "things" you are
measuring, collecting data (information) on, or
forming groups on, in order to conduct your
research study and answer your question(s). A
variable is a characteristic or feature that varies
or changes within a study. The opposite of a

∙Describing relationships between
variables means explaining relationships
between variables in an experiment such as
between the independent and dependent
variables. Correlation is a statistical
technique that is used to measure and
describe a relationship between two
variables. Usually, the two variables are

∙Designing investigations means designing an
experiment by identifying materials and
describing appropriate steps in a procedure to
test a hypothesis. Investigation designs are
plans for ensuring to get the information
needed. They are telling how to ensure that
there are no problems with testing, particularly
concerning the testing tools and how the
participants are treated.

Skills
∙Formulating models means recognizing patterns in
data and making comparisons to familiar objects or
ideas. The aim of formulating models is to make a
particular part or feature of the world easier to
understand, define, quantify, visualize, or simulate by
referencing it to existing and usually commonly accepted
knowledge. It requires selecting and identifying relevant
aspects of a situation in the real world and then using
different types of models for different aims, such as
conceptual models to better understand, operational
models to operationalize, mathematical models to
quantify, and graphical models to visualize the subject.

14. Manipulative Skills
∙Psychomotor skills that enable students to:
• Use and handle science apparatus and
specimens correctly and carefully,
• Draw apparatus, specimens, and
laboratory substances accurately,
• Clean and store science apparatus and
laboratory substances correctly
