Science Skill: OBSERVINGObserving means using
one or more of your senses to gather information. Your senses include: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.In science, we never taste things unless we know EXACTLY what it is and whether it is safe.Observations can be either qualitative or quantitative.

QUALQUALitative ObservationsQualitative observations
give a quality or property of the thing being observed.Usually adjectives like red, white, big, tall, girl, boy, quiet, or loud are qualitative.Example: – He is wearing a white jersey with a red #6 on the front, center.
– He has his hand in the air in the shape of a fist.

QUALitative Observations= QUALities

QuaNNtitative Observations
QuantitativeQuantitative data, describes an object numericallyQuantitative observations are things you actually measure. Height, weight, number, etc... are all quantitative.Example: He is 6ft 3in tall. He weighs 225 lbs.

Let’s Practice
QUALitative– The insect is light green
– The insect is shaped like a folded leaf
– It has long, spindly legs
QuaNtitative– The insect is 3 inches long.
– It has 6 legs.

Observations vs. Inferences

I can describe the difference between an observation, inference, and prediction.

Science Skills: Inferences
When you explain or interpret the things you observe, you are inferring or making an inference. Inferences are not always correct!!Observations are always facts---they must be true and correct. Inferences are not always true---they are educated guesses.

Science Skills: Predicting
Predicting means making a forecast of what will happen in the future based on past experience or evidence. Predictions are a type of inference about the future.

CSI: Frederick Douglass
When Ms. B dismisses you to the crime scene, observe the scene carefully.
When you return to your seat, write a crime scene report that clearly describes your analysis of the scene.
You should base your report on at least 6 observations.
Underline all observations and put a circle around(highlight) all inferences.
Write your notes/observations in your notebook on the right hand side but turn this in on a separate sheet of paper for hw.

Science Skills: Making Models
Making Models involves creating representations of complex objects or processes. (Careful: some information may be missing from a model)

Science Skills: Classifying
Classifying is the process of grouping together items that are alike in some way. Classifying things helps you stay organized so you can easily find and use them later
