I. Making Observations- Observations can be made several different ways. Observations can be put into two different categories; qualitative and quantitative.

Scientific Method. What is Science? Science is a method for studying the natural world. It is a process that uses observation and investigation to gain.

Directions: Make four detailed observations about each of the three pictures projected on this slide.

Data Collection & Presentation Activity. Two Types of Data There are two types of data. 1.Quantitative Data 2.Qualitative Data.

Scientific Measurement UNIT 1. A. SI Units B. Qualitative Measurement Vs. Quantitative Measurement 1. Qualitative  Deals with description (senses) 

Observations Use one or more of the 5 senses Used to note and record facts or data Ex: There is one TV in the room.

Scientific Processes & Terms Unit 1: Scientific Processes Physical Science Steinbrink.

Two types of Observation Qualitative – Quality – like your senses Quantitative – n for numbers.

 Observation is describing an object using your five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, & taste) or measurement (numbers).

Scientific Investigation. When would we use scientific investigation?

Data Collection & Presentation Activity. Two Types of Data There are two types of data. 1.Quantitative Data 2.Qualitative Data.

INFORMATION GATHERED BASED ON OUR FIVE SENSES THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF OBSERVATIONS… Think about what we learned about observations…

Quantitative vs. Qualitative

2 Types of Observations!. Qualitative Deals with descriptions. Data can be observed but not measured. Colors, textures, smells, tastes, appearance, beauty,

 SCIENTIFIC PROCESSES 1. Observation- noting down daily occurrences in nature ; and directly received by the senses. Kinds: a.Quantitative- numerical.

Thinking like a Scientist Part I. Observation Observation: / information collected by using your five senses: see, smell, taste, touch, hear. / Usually.

Observations: What do you see? Science Process Skills The tools of Science.

9/9/14 Objective: What is discovery science? *Take out HW, keep for now Do Now: Write down 3 observations (things that you can actually see that are important.

Section Notes Physical science focuses on nonliving things.

Vocabulary Observation: Using the five senses of sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch to learn or collect information about an object. Observations are.

Observing & Inferring. Observation: using the 5 senses to gather information (see, touch, smell, hear or taste) Inference: Making an interpretation based.

 To discriminate similar objects  To make careful estimations  To make precise measurements  To create models.

Observation & Inference. What is an observation? Any information collected with the senses. Your five senses are smell, taste, sight, touch, and sound.

What is the relationship between inference and observation? Scientific practice and the Cell Theory.

SCIENCE INQUIRY SKILLS WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD AND HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

Why do we “DO” science? What did we “DO” before we had science?

Begin with Observations: 1. Quantitative - observations that are measurements, involve counting or numeric values. (length, speed) 2. Qualitative - observations.

Observation is describing an object using your five senses (see, hear, smell, taste, touch) or measurement (numbers). 2 types of Observation 1. QuaLitative.

Process Skills – Observing Notes Quarter 1: Page 10 in ILL

Process Skills – Observing Notes Observation Taking in information using one of the five human senses or technology (microscope, thermometer, digital scale)

Process Skills – Observing Notes Purpose Scientists record observations to note the events of an investigation and then they communicate that information with others.

Process Skills – Observing Notes Types Qualitative Observations that describe the characteristics or qualities of an object or event; shape, color, relative size, odor, taste, texture, sound, behavior. These are less precise and can vary depending on who is observing. Example: a lion has brown fur, its mane is long and wiry to the touch.

Process Skills – Observing Notes Types Quantitative Observations that measure or count quantities; length, mass, volume, distance, time, how many These are more precise and will not vary depending on who is observing. Example: a lion has four legs, the lion chased its prey for 34 seconds, the lion’s tail is 1 meter long

Is it Qualitative or Quantitative? 1. It took twenty minutes to drive to Durham. 2. Cells have a pair of chromosomes in their nucleus. 3. NC State Univeristy’s colors are red, white, and black. 4. The speed of the car on was 45 mph. 5. Air that has low humidity feels dry. 6. The DNA molecule looks like a twisted ladder. 7. Stratus clouds appear like layers in the sky.

Is it Qualitative or Quantitative? 8. The human heart has four chambers that pump blood. 9. The friction between moving air and the surface of a space shuttle produces heat. 10. The hurricane had winds measuring 80 mph and had a well-defined eye. 11. The student’s book bag was heavy. 12. Fresh milk has a pH level of 6.7. 13. The plants that received sunlight grew faster than the ones without sunlight. 14. The balloon was red in color and measured 15 cm in diameter. 15. My right foot is larger than my left foot.

Process Skills – Observing Notes Practice: Make three qualitative and three quantitative observations about your notebook paper.
