Abstract EN

This study aimed to know the degree to which ninth-grade female students possess science processes in the life sciences subject from their point of view ; to achieve the goal aim of the study, the descriptive survey method was used, where data were collected through the science processes test, which consisted of (20) items, where its psychometric properties were verified.

the study community consisted of all ninth grade female students enrolled in the public schools in Marka directorate of education in the academic year 2018 / 2019.

the sample of the study consisted of (100) female students selected from Al-Qadisiyah secondary school for girls.
