We are constantly making observations of the world around us.

Observation: The act, practice, or power of

noticing.

We use our senses (sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing) to make our observations.

Observations & Inferences

There are two main types of observations:1. Quantitative observations

An observation in the form of a quantity.ex: The desk is 1 meter tall.

2. Qualitative observations A quality or characteristic of a given object or

event.ex: The sky is blue.

Our brains are constantly trying to make sense of our observations.
