SCIENCE PROCESS SKILL
The science process skills are the tools that students use to investigate the world around them and to construct science
concepts.
Conny (1987 ) states the basic abilities in question are observed , counting , measuring , classifying , searching for the
relationship of space and time , make hypotheses , plan for research or experimentation , verbal control , interpreting data , making
tentative conclusions , predict , apply , and communicate .
Here we suggest one possible interpretation of seven of the process skills of science (Harlen and Jelly , 1997) :
1 .Observing
: watching carefully , taking notes , comparing and contrasting
2 .Questioning
: asking questions about observations ; asking questions that can lead to investigations
3 .Hypothesizing
: Explanations providing consistent with available observations
4 .Predicting
: suggesting an event in the future , based on observations
5 .Investigating
: planning , conducting, measuring , gathering the data , controlling variables
6 .Interpreting
: synthesizing , drawing Conclusions , seeing patterns
7 .Communicating
: informing others in a variety of means : oral , written , representational
HOW TO DEVELOP SCIENCE PROCESS SKILL ITEM
1 . General characteristics
a. Should not be burdened with the concept , the concept involved should be familiar to students ( close to everyday life )
b . Contains a large amount of information that must be processed by the student ; may include images , charts , graphs , tables or
description or the original object .
c . Aspects are measured must be clear and contain only one type of aspect .
d .Should be displayed to help bring the image of the object.
2 . Special characteristics
a. Observation
b. Classification
: Objects / events that actually
:There should be an opportunity to explore / discover similarities and differences , or given specific
criteria for grouping or a specified number of groups to be formed .
c. Interpretation
: Should present some data to show patterns
d. Prediction
: It should be clear pattern or trend to submit allegations or forecast
e. Infering
f. Communication
: There must be a
certain form of representation to be transformed into other forms of presentation , for example, in narrative form to the shape
of the chart or table form into the form of graphs
EXAMPLE OF THE QUESTION WITH SCIENCE PROCESS SKILL ASPECT

Aspect
Observing
Example of question
1. Listing the similarities and differences of a cube of ice and a ball of ice
2. Look at the picture below!
Check it carefully. What you can say about picture above?
Classifying
1. In the below are the animals.
A Tiger
A Goat
An
Elephant
A Camel
Information
Using the senses and
appropriate tools to
gather information
about an object,
event,or
phenomenon.
SUBSKILLS
include
collecting
evidence, identifying
similarities
and
differences,
classifying,
measuring,
and
identifying relevant
observations.
A Horsea
Bear
Based on the picture above. Classify it based on their types food...
a. Tiger Elephants Bear
b. Horsea camel bear
c. Goat camel tiger
d. Bear camel elephant
e. Goat horsea elephant

Predicting
In one ecosystem there are animals such as rabbit, snake, zebra
and tiger. In that ecosystem there is a lot of grass and plants. If
the grass and plant are destroyed and no more grass and plants
again, predict the condition that will occur...
a. The rabbit will be die too
b. The snake and rabbit will be die
c. The rabbit and zebra will be die
d. Snake and tiger will be die
e. All of animals will be die

What do you do to determine the effect of salt and sugar to ice cube?
(student expect to Deciding to put a teaspoon of salt on one ice cube and
a teaspoon of sugar on another identical ice cube; setting them side by
side, and observing their relative
melting rates in order to determine if one melts faster than the other.)
Interpreting
1. Lets do an experiment!
After observing the melting rates of an ice cube sprinkled with salt
Designing
an
investigation that
includes
procedures
to
collect
reliable
data. Planning
includes devising
a way to test a
hypothesis. NOTE:
Planning is not
always formal.
SUBSKILLS
include
identifying
and
controlling
variables,
and
using measuring
instruments.
Considering
evidence,
evaluating,
and
drawing
a
conclusion
by
assessing
the
data:
In other words,
answering
the
question, What
do your findings
and one without salt, what your conclusion?

Consider the data breaches table in SMP TARUNA MUDA 1 2009/2010
following!
tell you? Finding
a
pattern or other
meaning
in
a
collection of data.
SUBSKILLS
include
interpreting data
statistically,
identifying human
mistakes and
experimental
errors, evaluating
a
hypothesis
based
on
the
data,
and
recommending
further
testing
where necessary.
There
is
information about
the diagram and
it have to change
to
another
information such
as a graph.
