The document discusses science process skills which help gather information about the world. It describes several key science process skills - observing using the senses, classifying by grouping objects into categories, measuring using tools to describe dimensions, predicting future events, inferring conclusions from evidence, hypothesizing educated guesses, and communicating findings in various forms. Examples are provided to illustrate each skill.

SCIENCE
PROCESS SKILLS
These help you gather
information and answer
questions about the
world around you.
SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
• Learning the process skills
prepares you to become a
scientist.
• These are the tools scientists
used to “know”about the world.
SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
OBSERVING
Using the five senses to gather
information about objects such as their
characteristics, properties, similarities
and differences

2. 25/08/2023
OBSERVING
The patients in the
hospital are coughing
hard and difficult.
OBSERVING
- involves physical description without
numerical values
- involves numbers or measurements
Quantitative
Qualitative
OBSERVING
Example:
There are three patients in the
hospital who cannot breathe
properly.
Quantitative
OBSERVING
Example:
The patients look very
pale and weak.
Qualitative

• It is an explanation to the
observation.
• Arriving at a conclusion
after logically analyzing the
evidence and facts.
INFERRING
• The person who has experiences shortness of
breath, fever, dry coughs and tiredness has
COVID 19.
INFERRING
Example:
Sharmaine is not feeling
well because she keeps on
sneezing and coughing.
INFERRING
It is the process of using past
observations or data to
forecast future events or
outcomes.
PREDICTING

4. 25/08/2023
Example:
There are thousands of
people who are found
positive everyday, another
lockdown may happen.
PREDICTING
Example:
Ryla predicted that the
COVID-19 cases will continue
to rise because there's a lot of
people who do not wear face
masks and face shields when
they go outside.
PREDICTING
CLASSIFYING
Grouping or ordering
objects or events into
categories
CLASSIFYING
Classifying the
COVID-19
patients based
on their
symptoms

5. 25/08/2023
CLASSIFYING
Sorting of
garbage
or waste
CLASSIFYING
Classifying
animals based
on their
characteristics
• Finding out the size, distance,
and amount of matter.
• Use measurements to estimate
or to describe the dimensions of
an object or event.
MEASURING
MEASURING
Length
- linear measurement
(ex. meter, inches, yard)
Volume
- capacity
(ex. liter, ounce, gallon)
Weight
- mass
(ex. grams, pounds)
Temperature
- hotness/coldness
(ex. Celcius, Fahrenheit)

6. 25/08/2023
Example:
All guests will undergo a body
temperature check using a
gun thermal scanner before
entering the supermarket.
MEASURING
• It is a scientific way of saying "make
a really good educated guess.”
• It involves using your past
knowledge and available facts to
try and guess what might happen.
HYPOTHESIZING
Example:
If Faye will wear a mask and face
shield and will observe physical
distancing when she goes out, then
she will be protected from the
COVID-19.
HYPOTHESIZING
Expressing ideas in many
forms, such as orally, in
writing or with graphs,
diagrams, tables of data or
photographs is a way of
communicating.
COMMUNICATING

7. 25/08/2023
COMMUNICATING
Example: Describing the change in number of COVID-19 new
cases in the Philippines through a line graph.
COMMUNICATING
Example: Describing the change in height of a plant
over time in writing, chart or through a graph.
