Aim: How do scientists make observations? Do Now: Write down five (5) things you notice about this classroom.

Observations An observation is any information that we gather using our five senses. EXAMPLE:

Using one or more of your senses to gather information about an object or your surroundings. What are the senses we use in science class? Sight Touch.

Presentation transcript:

For each position below, list 3 observations in your notebook.

Observations and Inferences recognizing a FACT to gather information about the world Observations made using your five senses Observations must be specific and accurate so that it means the same to everyone. Example: Incorrect - the oval object smells “nasty” Correct - the oval object smells “similar to rotten eggs”

Observations and Inferences 1. Qualitative observations - factual descriptions that do not use numbers Example: Phil has blue eyes 2. Quantitative observations - factual descriptions that do use numbers Example: Phil has two eyes

Observations and Inferences a possible explanation or guess about an observation Example: you leave the movie theater and see the ground is wet so you infer that it rained.
