Measuring: is the skill of Quantifying observations. This can


involve numbers, distance, time, volume and temperature.

Observing: Is Exploring the World around by using Senses


like, Sight, Smell, Sound, Touch, and taste.

Comparing: works on Sharping their observation skills. Is the


first step toward classifying.

Science Process Skills are those that allow students to process new
information through concrete experiences.

Sometimes we see but we dont Absorb what


this means is for example, when mr. wangs class
observes an aquarium he guides them by asking.
Which fish spends the most time swimming?
Observation is basically the first step in
gathering information to solve a problem,
students need opportunities to absorb size,
shape ,speed, etc.
