Presentation transcript:

what is science OBSERVATION the knowledge obtained by observing natural events and conditions in order to discover facts and formulate laws or principles that can be verified or tested So what’s the first step in science and scientific study??? OBSERVATION

types of observation qualitative quantitative an observation made using one of the five senses quantitative a measurable property such as distance, mass, or time

observation vs. inference observations things that you can actually see that you believe are very important inferences things that you suppose are likely to happen based on what you see
