Observations Observations- Using our five senses to gather information about the world around us. There are two types of observations. Qualitative & Quantitative.

What makes an experiment valid?

Tuesday, October 30th AGENDA:

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

Observation/Inferences What do these two words mean?

1. Prediction: to tell something before it happens 2. Hypothesis: a possible answer to a question based on gathered information.

DO NOW What Is Science?? - In your own words, write down any ideas or thoughts to explain what science is all about! -Take out homework if you did not.

Observe, Record, and Analyze Data

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

Scientific Method Terms. Observation / Conclusion Observation Conclusion Qualitative or quantitative descriptions Act of gathering information Ex: The.

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.

Control: The part of the experiment that scientists keep the same during the experiment ex: temperature, location, light. Control Group: The group in the.

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

The nature of science. Scientific knowledge is the product of observation and inference. Observations and Inferences.

The Importance of Observation Date: Objective: Recognize observation as the most basic skill in science.

Mrs. Anna Ward Qualitative versus Quantitative Observations.

Observations and Inferences Using your senses and making sense of your observations.

POWER-UP Compare and contrast: Quality and Quantity Explain what a cause and effect relationship is without using the words “cause” and “effect”

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

Observation and Inference Notes. OBSERVATION OBSERVATION- – Information collected using your five senses (sight, smell, touch, taste and hear); facts.

Observation and Inference

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.

Thinking Like a Scientist Science starts with an observation Observation – the process of gathering information in a careful, orderly way  Use your senses:

Properties of Matter. Matter  Matter is anything that has volume and mass and takes up space.

Reminders … 1.Cell phones, backpacks, food/drink 2.Signed papers 3.Office hours.

Observations Use one or more of your five senses to gather information

Section Notes Physical science focuses on nonliving things.

\ Observation & Inference. Observations Any information collected with your 5 senses. The skill of describing scientific events Quantitative- Is measureable.

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

Observation & Inference. Observations Any information collected with the senses. The skill of describing scientific events.

Understanding Observations

Observation vs. Inference

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.

Making Observations and Inferences. Observations Observations: We use our senses to gather information about the world around us. There are two types.

Making Observations and Inferences. Objective Be able to explain the difference between observation, inference, and assumption.

Making Observations and Inferences

Qualitative and Quantitative Observations. Observations An observation is made when you use your senses to take in information about your surroundings.

CORNELL NOTES PAGE 33 Qualitative and Quantitative Observations

Qualitative Observations Quality or characteristic of something.  colors, shapes, textures, smells, patterns, etc.  do NOT include any numbers or measurements. Examples  The stapler is red.  The shirt is striped.  The teddy bear is soft.

Quantitative Observations Quantity or amount of something. Include numbers and measurements. Examples  A spider has 8 legs.  The desk is 60 cm tall.  The car rolled 122 cm down the ramp.
