Scientific Process Skills Overview

[Music] hi kids welcome back to our online class this is titrian and i'm your science teacher so today we're going to continue discussing about the scientific process so again the scientific process is grouped into three types what are these three types we have the scientific method the second one is the science process skills and the third one is the scientific mind okay so last week we are finished with the scientific method right and now we are now ready to move on to the scientific process skills okay so for this video we're going to talk about the science process skills now before we continue we have some vocabularies for you to better understand our topic okay so the first word is skills skill is the power or the ability to perform a task well especially because of a training or practice okay now the next one is observe observe observe is to watch carefully observe is to watch carefully and the third vocabulary word is diagrams diagrams diagrams are drawings that show arrangement and relation these are examples of diagrams so what are scientific process skills these are tools used by scientists to search knowledge to answer questions and solve problems okay so these skills are needed by scientists to do their work so there are 14 scientific process skills they are sorted into two groups so what are these groups the first one is the eight basic science process skills which includes first observing the second one is classifying the third one is measuring the fourth one is organizing data and communicating the fifth one is inferring the sixth one is predicting and using numbers and the last one is using space or time relationships okay so the next group is called the six integrated science process skills which includes identifying and controlling variables next interpreting data and making conclusions next experimenting the next one is defining operationally formulating hypothesis and the last one is modeling okay so we are going to discuss more about this as we move on so let's start with observing observing is a science process skill used in gathering information about objects and events so your observations are statements or your state statements i should say are based from what you see are based from what you taste based from what you smell based from what you touch and what you hear okay so the next one is measuring in measuring objects we use tools and instruments to find out okay how long how heavy or how much something is so these are some measuring tools that we could use we have the weighing scale we use a weighing scale to use measure our weight to know our weight we use the measuring tape we can also use the ruler and the measuring cup okay so these are just some of the many measuring tools so next we have the organizing data and communicating so what is all about this this refers to the systematic arrangement of collected data so that it becomes easy to understand when we gather data from experiment we need to put into simple ways for other people to understand better let's try to make use of this example of chart okay so we have here three types of consumers in um a food chain so the first one is herbivores the second one is the carnivores and the third one is omnivores which eat both plants and meat herbivores these are some examples of animals that only eat plants it's like horses just like cows and elephants next examples of omnivores are chickens dogs and cats examples of carnivores are falcons they only eat meat even a lion only eat meat and even tiger when you make use of this kind of chart other people can better understand your collected data the next one is modeling modeling is to create models as a way to explain things that we study this means that we can share the data using diagrams again from the diagrams that i showed a while ago the charts the tables graphs equations or even essays okay so these are some different types of models okay let's start with a model of an aquatic ecosystem okay this is an example of a model of an aquatic ecosystem the next one is a model of a butterfly's life cycle as you can see it is made by students okay the third one is a model of frog's skeleton the fourth one is the model or a model of a volcanic eruption again it is also made by students the fifth one is a model of the troubling of sound through a medium next we have the model of a plant's growth okay so those are some examples of models next we have using space or time relationships so this is to find the relationship between one-dimensional two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects okay let's have this as an example one-dimensional objects are lines next to these are triangles um square circle and rectangles because they have two dimensions like length and weed and we have the three dimensionals examples are cone cube cylinder and sphere now there are two types of space relationship so the first one is space space relationship the second one is space time relationship okay so a space space relationship is a relationship between the spaces failed by objects while space time relationship is a relationship between the spaces filled by objects at a given time at a given time like for example okay let's have this as an example a relationship between the positions of two objects let's have school and hospital for example so when i say the hospital is located east of the school or vice versa the hospital is located west of this school we talk about the positions of two objects next we have also this one this is a relationship between an object's position and time okay this is to find the positions of a moving object as time goes by for example if the sun rises in the east as you can see here in the picture after six hours after six hours the sun changes its position and now it is right above the house of the girl at 12 noon so we talked about the position of an object with time within a given time okay so that's it predicting predicting it is a making of statements of what will happen in the future like for example when we look at the dark clouds we might think that it will rain right we think that it will rain so that it's called prediction you are predicting what will happen in the future based on what we see now for your activity let's have this one okay so this is a picture of the places in the community the grocery store is located in the south of the school it is located in the south of the school what science process is used so what science process skill is used it is space or time relationship good so the next example is jack uses a magnifying glass to study the leaves what scientific skill is used by jack jack is blank believes jack is observing jack is observing next rose uses a hide a ruler to find her height rose uses uh what scientific skill can you guess it's measuring great it's measuring rose is measuring her height okay so that is the end of our video for your activity you can open your book to page 4 and answer the questions there so that is the end thank you so much and i hope to see you very soon goodbye you
