The steps in experimenting are planning, conducting the experiment, collecting data, drawing the conclusion and making a complete report. Science Process Skills: observing Qclassifying @measuring and using numbers inferring ‘predicting communicating @Qusing space and time relationship Qinterpreting data adefining operationally ‘controlling variables ‘@formulating/making hypothesis ‘(experimenting Scientific skills are the skills practised when conducting an experiment or investigation. Scientific skills comprised of science process skills and manipulative skills.
