    Study Notes

    Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills

    • Basic science process skills include observing, communicating, measuring, classifying, inferring, and predicting.
    • Observation involves using senses or measuring instruments to gather information, leading to qualitative data, which describes qualities.
    • Measuring determines the exact amount or size of an object with tools like rulers, graduated cylinders, and scales, producing quantitative data, expressed in standard metric units.
    • Operational definitions explain how to recognize or measure a variable in an experiment, incorporating a design that identifies materials and outlines procedural steps to test a hypothesis.
    • Experimenting requires following directions and procedures meticulously, allowing for results that can be verified through repetition.
    • A hypothesis can be confirmed or nullified during testing, requiring data recording for analysis.
    • Formulating models entails recognizing patterns in data and creating visual representations, such as graphs and data tables.
    • After data collection, interpretation is critical and involves statistical analysis, identifying errors, evaluating hypotheses, and drawing conclusions.
    • Practicing data interpretation includes analyzing graphs, noting trends, hypothesizing causes, and predicting future outcomes.
    • Integrated science process skills demand higher critical thinking compared to basic skills.
    • An independent variable is what is measured in an experiment, distinguished from dependent variables.
    • Graphs serve as visual models to present and analyze data effectively.
    • Defining operationally means being precise and clear, not vague.
