The purpose of this paper is to describe the communication skills of elementary school students both orally and in writing when participating in science learning activities. The approach used was qualitative and data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and student journals. The number of students who became respondents was five people consisting of three women and two men. The results of the analysis of the oral and written communication skills of elementary school students when participating in science learning activities are in the good and moderate categories.
