Do You Really Need To Teach Scientific Skills and Processes?

The simple answer is…absolutely! Teaching science process skills is essential in helping students develop a strong foundation in scientific thinking and inquiry. These skills—such as observing, categorising, measuring, predicting, testing, and communicating—are the foundations of scientific success. By mastering these skills, students learn how to approach scientific problems systematically, ask meaningful questions, and analyze information correctly.

It might seem like skills for science should come naturally, but they don’t. That’s why we’ve created a brand new printable resource to help boost your students’ skills for science class!

Print a Science Data Worksheet for Kids and More!

This printable worksheet pack includes a variety of worksheets and activities that can be used to gauge students’ knowledge of science processes when undertaking a science unit or experiment.

The educational worksheet pack includes science data worksheets for kids that cover the following skills for science and scientific thinking:

identifying investigable questions worksheet
making predictions based on prior knowledge activity
using lab equipment safely scenario assessment
making and recording accurate observations on a data chart for science experiments
data analysis activity for students
science data worksheet for kids / science graphing worksheets
suggesting explanations for observations worksheet
comparing findings with predictions worksheet
giving reasons for fair/unfair tests activity
communicating observations and conclusions template

We have included eight printable Science Process Skills worksheets and an answer sheet to make grading easy! Please note that several of the worksheets are designed to be printed double-sided.
