This research examined the aspects of preschool children"s science process skills which were appeared on the process of applying the nature exploration activities using children"s literature. The subjects were 20 five-year old children. The nature exploration activities lasted 8 weeks. Children took pre- and post-test to treasure their science process skills, and children"s writing were analyzed to verify the meaning which was related to the science process skills. The science process skills of children who participated in this study were changed due to these activities. Children became keen observers of the world around them, examined the concept of classification, talked with nature objects, showed empathy on nature objects, and tried to predict the results and relationships of any incidents found in nature.
