Chapter 1: Scientific Skills
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, students will learn about scientific skills that are important in science.
Students will learn how to observe by using all the senses and tools needed to make qualitative observations to explain phenomena or changes that occur.
Students will also learn how to make hypotheses and test hypotheses through experiments or careful observations. Students will be taught how to draw conclusions based on data obtained through experiments or observations.
By learning these scientific skills, students will be able to understand science more deeply and be able to apply scientific skills in their daily lives.
Topics in this chapter
1. Science Process Skills
What you will learn in this topic
- Observe by using all the senses involved and tools if necessary to make qualitative observations to explain phenomenon or changes that occur
- Classify by comparing or identifying similarities and differences based on common characteristics
- Measure and use numbers by using appropriate tools and standard units with correct techniques
- Make inferences by stating the initial conclusion or by giving reasonable explanations for the observation made using the information gathered
- Predict by making reasonable assumptions of an event or phenomenon based on observations, prior experiences or data
- Communicate by recording information or ideas in suitable forms and presenting them systematically
- Use space-time relationship by arranging occurrences of phenomenon or event in a chronological order based on time
- Interpret data by selecting relevant ideas about an object, an event or the trend of the data to make an explanation
- Define operationally by describing an interpretation of a task carried out and observed in a situation according to determined aspects
- Control variables by determining the responding and constant variables after the manipulated variables in an investigation have been determined
- Make a hypothesis by making a general statement that can be tested based on the relationship between the variables in an investigation
- Carry out experiments by using the basic science process skills to collect and interpret data, summarise to prove the hypothesis and write a report
