4. SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
When?
Where?

5. Science Process Skills
enable students to formulate their questions and find out the answers systematically

6. OBSERVING
Using the sense of hearing, touching, smelling, tasting and seeing to collect information about an object or a phenomenon.

7. CLASSIFYING
Using observations to group objects or events according to similarities and differences.

8. CLASSIFYING
Using observations to group objects or events according to similarities and differences.
Living things
Non living things

9. MEASURING & USING NUMBERS
Making quantitative observations using numbers and tools with standardised units. Measuring makes observation more accurate.

10. INFERRING
Using past experiences or previously collected data to draw conclusions and make explanations of events.
Is it true?
It must have rained.
WET ROAD

11. PREDICTING
Stating the outcome of a future event based on prior knowledge gained through experiences or collected data.

12. PREDICTING
Activity 1
Plan an experiment that use skill of Basic and Intergrated SPS
One or two representative from the class

13. COMMUNICATING
Using words or graphic symbols such as tables, graphs, figures or models to describe an action, object or event.

14. USING SPACE-TIME RELATIONSHIP
Describing changes in parameter with time. Examples of parameters are location, direction, shape, size, volume, weight & mass.

15. INTERPRETING DATA
Giving rational explanations about an object, event or pattern derived from collected data.

16. DEFINING OPERATIONALLY
Defining all variables as they are used in the experiment by describing what must be done and what should be observed.

17. CONTROLLING VARIABLES
Identifying the fixed variables, manipulated variables, and responding variable in an investigation. This manipulated variable is changed to observe its relationship with the responding variable. At the same time, the fixed variable is kept constant.

18. HYPOTHESISING
Making a general statement about the relationship between a manipulated variable and a responding variable to explain an event or observation. This statement can be tested to determine its validity.

19. EXPERIMENTING
Planning and conducting activities to test a certain hypothesis. These activities include collecting, analysing and interpreting data and making conclusions.

20. Psychomotor skills that enables students to:
