Question in Paper 3 test for 11 Scientific Skills Science Process Skills Science process skills enable students to formulate

their questions and find out the answers systematically.

Descriptions of the science process skills are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Observing Classifying Measuring and Using Numbers Inferring Predicting Communicating Interpreting Data Defining Operationally Controlling Variables Using the sense of hearing, touch, smell, taste and sight to collect information about an object or a phenomenon. Using observations to group objects or events according to similarities or differences. Making quantitative observations using numbers and tools with standardised units. Measuring makes observation more accurate. Using past experiences or previously collected data to draw conclusions and make explanations of events. Stating the outcome of a future event based on prior knowledge gained through experiences or collected data. Using words or graphic symbols such as tables, graphs, figures or models to describe an action, object or event. Giving rational explanations about an object, event or pattern derived from collected data. Defining concepts by describing what must be done and what should be observed. Identifying the fixed variable, manipulated variable, and responding variable in an investigation. The manipulated variable is changed to observe its relationship with the responding variable. At the same time, the fixed variable is kept constant. Making a general statement about the relationship between a manipulated variable and a responding variable in order to explain an event or observation. This statement can be tested to determine its validity. Planning and conducting activities to test a certain hypothesis. These activities include collecting, analysing and interpreting data and making conclusions.
