LEARNING AREA
The learning area comprises of two elements.
Element 1 : SPS (Scientific Process Skills)
Element 2 : SMS (Scientific Manipulative Skills)
Element 1 and 2 contain a list of criteria of theskills as the performance indicator which areexpected to be mastered by pupils.
The Scientific Attitudes and Noble values areimbedded during the assessment of SPS andSMS ad must be observed by teacher/ assessor

Science and Teach ing o f Science
Science and teaching students aboutscience means more than scientific
knowledge.
The first of these is the content of science: the
basic science concepts and our scientific
knowledge. This is the dimension of science that
most people first think about, and it is certainlyvery important.

The other two important dimensions of science in
addition to science knowledge are processes of

QUALITATIVE OBSERVATION.
Observe objects or events in a variety of ways usingone or more of the senses
Something that you directly see, hear, smell, taste, ortouch
To observe an objects means to carefully explore allof its properties such as colour, texture, odor, shape,weight, volume or temperature.
Examples : Identify properties of an object, i.e.shape, color, size, and texture.

OBSERVING !!!
Where is my Peanut?. In this activity, students will record asmuch information about a peanut as possible, including itsappearance, length, and weight. Then the peanut is hidden ina pile and students must use this information to find it.
Note:Allow students to use instruments such as magnifyinglenses, rulers, and balances to help them with their
observations. You could extend the activity by having students describe theirpeanut either orally of in writing while other team memberssearch for it. Repeat this activity with other manmade ornatural objects.
Ask students:
Which senses did you use to collect information about yourpeanut?
What tools did you use to help you with your observations?
What properties did you use to identify your peanut?
What characteristic was most helpful for identifying your
peanut?

Grouping similar items together, such as shoes orbooks, is a form ofclassification.
Classification is the organization of objects bytraits that they have in common.
Classifications can be general, like separatingyour books from the other objects in your room,or more specific, like separating your textbooksfrom your novels.
You could go even further, separating text-booksby subject matter, novels by their authors, and soon.

DEFINING OPERATIONALLY
OPERATIONAL DEFINITION To help you (or someone else) repeat your experiment under thesame conditions each time, you need to write an operationaldefinition for any key terms that do not have one, clear meaning.The operational definition clarifies vague terms and explains howthe results (dependent variable) will be measured. For example, inHelicopter Happenings, as a class we had to decide what the termbest meant so that everyone was measuring results in thesameway.
We could define best as the straightest flight path from start tofinish;
we also could define it as the highest number of complete rotations;it could mean the fastest flight time in seconds from start to finish.
Stating how we measured the best flight ensures that each labteam measured the results using the same criteria.

EXPERIMENTING
In this lesson people will learn about the light travels in a straight line.When an opaque object is placed across a beam of light, a dark spotis formed behind the object. The dark spot is called a shadow. Theshape of the shadow depends on the shape of the object that blocksthe light.
The changes in the size of a shadow can be done by two ways; first,
by verifying the distance between an object and its light source;second, by verifying the distance between an object and the screen.The shape of a shadow changes according to the position of the lightsource and the position of the object.
We can ensure the phenomenon through an experiment. Pupils will dothe experiment while the teacher will be a facilitator.
Therefore, under this skills pupil will able to perceive a think of thingsand experience in the surrounding and use reasoning power toanalyze and interpret the concept. This learning ability will enable apupil to acquire knowledge.

EXPERIMENTING
Procedure :First, teacher will show the model to the pupils. Pupils
will set the apparatus as shown.
Stand the object 5cm from the screen.
Put the touch 10cm from the object.
Shine the light source on the object to form a shadow onthe screen.
Mark the position of the light source.
Repeat step from 1 to 4 by changing the distant betweenthe light source and the object as shown in the tablebelow.
Record your observation.

HYPOTHESIS
If I add mass to the base, then the helicopter will dropstraighter because the mass stabilizes the helicopter.
If the wings of the helicopter are shorter, then the flighttime will decrease.

Conclusion
A conclusion is a summary of an experiment. Someone whoreads only the conclusion section of your report should
be able to understand what your experiment was about. The
summary should give your results, describe what those
findings mean, and suggest new questions that should be
investigated. A good conclusion can be written byanswering six questions:
1. What was the purpose of the experiment?
2. What were the major findings?
3. Was your hypothesis supported or not supported by the
data? Or were your results inconclusive?
4. How did your findings compare with the results of others in your
class, or with information in your textbook?
5. What possible explanations can you give for your results?
