No scientist can be effective without the science process skills which are needful for the doing of science. The study investigated science teachers awareness and attitude towards the assessment of science process skills. It adopted a survey design and 200 science teachers were drawn as sample for the study. The teachers were given a self-structured questionnaire for data collection. The research questions were answered using mean scores while the hypotheses were analyzed using independent t-test and analysis of variance. Results revealed that science teachers have average awareness of the science process skills and negative attitude towards the assessment of the science process skills. Gender and years of experience were found not to make significant differences in both awareness and attitude of teachers. Recommendations were made based on the findings.
