This document outlines key skills involved in scientific processes like observation, classification, inference, prediction, measurement, and communication. Observation involves using the senses to identify relevant details. Classification is grouping objects based on similarities. Inference makes reasonable conclusions from observations. Prediction states upcoming events based on evidence and patterns. Measurement involves counting, comparing quantities, and using appropriate units. Communication expresses and shares ideas through speaking, writing, drawing, and presenting information.
