Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate whether science education develops the primary science process skills adequately. In order to measure the primary science process skills, a test was developed and was applied to 80 ninth grade students who were randomly chosen from four high schools in Ankara at the beginning of the 1999-2000 fall semester. Results showed that primary school science education fails to develop primary process skills adequately.
