Vocabulary … Observation : any information collected with the senses. When we observe, we record what is seen, smelled, tasted, heard and touched. Qualitative : is a description of something's properties. It can't be measured. "The apple is red." Quantitative : is a measureable description using quantity or amount. “The apple weighs 125 grams.” “There are three apples.” Inference : a conclusion based on observations. Inferences go beyond what we can directly sense. You use experience, reasoning and logic to make an inference. Empirical evidence : information acquired by observation or experimentation.
