How do Scientists Make Observations?
Scientists use their Five Senses
• Sight - Looks• Touch - Feels• Hearing – Sounds
when moving…• Odor – Smells • Tastes Qualitative Observations

Department of Mathematics and Science
Scientists use measurement tools to make observations
that involve numbers or quantities
How do Scientists get precise or specific size information about objects?

Scientists at Work: What do you see when you observe the candle?
Write in your notebook.
Look over the list you made. Are they all observations?Remember, observations use the senses to gather information. Is there anything on the list that is what you think or infer?

Senses Observations Inferences Compare and Contrast
Observation InferencesTo infer is to use observations to reach a conclusion based on evidence.
OpinionA personal belief that does not need proof.
To observe is to look closely at something using any of the five senses and/or measurement tools.

Observations versus Inferences
Make Five Observations Make 5 inferences

Scientists at Work: Write one observation, one inference and one opinion about what you see in the photo.

Scientists at Work: Classify Objects
Look at the shells in this photograph. What are some ways you could group them by their properties?

Scientists Communicate in Many Ways
• Giving talks• Sharing drawing• Making posters• Making charts or graphs• Writing papers or
articles
• Telephoning• Emailing• Texting• Blogging• Body Language• Using Models• Message boards
List several ways to communicate.

Apply Concepts
1. Compare these two animals. List how they look similar and different.
2. Imagine you are on a camping trip. Upon waking up you notice a garbage can tipped over outside your cabin. Plastic bags are torn open. What could you infer? Give evidence for your claim.
