Basic Science Process Skills

 Observing - using the senses to gather information about an object or event. Example:
Describing a pencil as yellow.
 Inferring - making an "educated guess" about an object or event based on previously gathered
data or information. Example: Saying that the person who used a pencil made a lot of mistakes
because the eraser was well worn.
 Measuring - using both standard and nonstandard measures or estimates to describe the
dimensions of an object or event. Example: Using a meter stick to measure the length of a table
in centimeters.
 Communicating - using words or graphic symbols to describe an action, object or event.
Example: Describing the change in height of a plant over time in writing or through a graph.
 Classifying - grouping or ordering objects or events into categories based on properties or
criteria. Example: Placing all rocks having certain grain size or hardness into one group.
 Predicting - stating the outcome of a future event based on a pattern of evidence. Example:
Predicting the height of a plant in two week- time based on a graph of its growth during the
previous four weeks. The integrated science process skills will also help you more to understand
in the conduct of experiment.

TERMS

MATTER – is the substance that makes up everything in the universe

- Occupies space
- SOLID –
- LIQUID – particles are less lightly packed together
- GAS – there is great deal of empty space between particles
- VOLUME – the space occupied matter
- MASS – amount of matter in an object
- SHAPE – the form of an object

PROPERTIES OF MATTER

- Physical Properties
- Chemical properties

EXTERNAL PARTS OF THE PLANT AND ITS FUNCTION

- ROOT
- STEM
- FRUIT
- LEAVES
- REPROUCTIVE ORGAN ( FRUIT)
- PISTIL – FEMALE ORGAN
- STAMEN – MALE
- ROOT HAR
- PIMARY ROOT
- LATERAL ROOT

CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING THING

- ORGANIZATION – cell – tissues- organs – organ system- organism

- HOMEOSTASIS – steady state
- METABOLISM – chemical reactions
- IRRITABILITY – response to a stimuli
- REPRODUCTION – Asexual and Sexual
- GROWTH
- ADAPTATION – ability to be suite in the environment

PHOTOTROPISM – Light nourishment

GEOTROPISM – response to the earth

PHOTPLYSIS – splitting
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Leave cells – chloroplast = Grana + Stroma

Grana – photolysis ( sunlight + h2o = o2 + h2+Electrons)

- Light reactions
- ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate)- high energy molecule
- NADPH2 ( Nicotinamide Adenine Phosphate Hydrogen) – hydrogen carrier molecule

Stroma – no need sunlight

- ATP + NAPH2+ CO2 = C6H12O6 (glucose)

- Dark reaction
