Science education has an important place in the development of children's scientific thinking skills, in the ability to answer scientific problems in daily life, in the development of problem solving skills, and in the enhancement of life experiences and skills. Defining the difficulties students with vision impairment have in terms of the basic science concepts as well as the difficulties they have experienced in learning basic science skills, it will be understandable how ideal the preparation of activities that prioritize both concept and skill teaching is for them. However, students with visual impairment face many difficulties when learning scientific process skills. Therefore, these students have to spend time and effort in their classes to improve their science process skills. In this study, an analysis of an activity developed for students with visual impairment was made according to scientific process skills developed.. The activity prepared in the scope of the study was applied in the classroom environment together with the students. Six students were enrolled in the School for the Disabled. The observation form was used in the study. As a result of the data analysis, it was determined that the activity designed for the students with visual impairment contributed positively to the acquisition of the skills of the students.
