Science Process Skills and Communication

The video introduces science process skills, essential for scientific thinking and problem-solving. It covers observing, measuring, inferring, classifying, comparing, and communicating, explaining each skill's role in scientific investigation. Observing involves using senses and tools, while measuring ensures accuracy. Inferring combines observation with prior knowledge. Classifying groups objects by properties, and comparing identifies similarities and differences. Communicating involves sharing information effectively. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage further.
