In light of the results of the study the researcher recommended the following: reviewing the order of priorities and processes ratios to each other in the light of the stage of cognitive development and in a way that realizes the balance and interdependence between the various science processes.

, determining suitable standards that take into account the ages of the learners in designing curriculum, guiding curriculum designers to focus on the basic science processes.
