Process Skills 3. Observations

3. Scientists are inquisitive and wondering as they use their senses and measuring tools in their work. Using your five senses and measuring tools to learn about the world around you is called OBSERVATION.

A. Many people think it’s just using your eyes, but that’s not true A. Many people think it’s just using your eyes, but that’s not true. You can use all five senses to learn new things as well.

B. There are two kinds of observations you can make B. There are two kinds of observations you can make. QUANTITATIVE observations can be measured or described using numbers. To make this kind of observation, you use measuring tools like rulers, scales, or thermometers. Sometimes you have to count, too.

B. There are two kinds of observations you can make B. There are two kinds of observations you can make. QUALITATIVE observations describe the qualities or characteristics of something. To make this kind of observation, you use your five senses.

You have a limited amount of time, study this picture and be prepared to answer questions about what you see!

Please wait for the next available ham and eggs QUESTIONS FOR BANK SCENE 1. What time did the clock show? 2. How many people are in the scene? 3. How many people are in line? 4. What is the date in the picture? 5. How many freckles are on the boy in front wearing the zippered shirt? 6. What does the sign at the front of the line say? 1:27 8 5 June 15 8 Please wait for the next available ham and eggs

C. Once we make observations, our brain puts them together into logical conclusions. These conclusions are called INFERENCES. To make an inference, you use what you see and what you know from your own personal experiences or knowledge to make a conclusion that makes sense.

Here are some observations. What would be some appropriate inferences? 1. You observe the sky at noon is darkening. 2. The principal interrupts class and calls for a student to come to her office. 3. All middle school students are bringing a lunch from home on Friday. 4. The classroom lights are off. 5. You leave the movie theater and see that the ground is wet. 6. Everyone in the mini theater is raising their hands.

Observe the following pictures Make inferences based on your observations

Mystery Box Activity Without peeking, see if you can determine what is in the box. Use your observations skills (listen) and infer what is inside the box.
