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.
