Scientific observations

1.13 Scientists all have different reasons for why they do it. They also all use different tools

1.14 Scientific questions are the questions that inspire science

1.15 Scientific observations are made by using our senses. There are 2 types of observations: qualitative and quantitative. One measures numbers (quantitative) and one the other doesn't (qualitative) 1.16 The 2 types of reasoning are deductive and inductive. Deductive comes from broad statements and draws a conclusion. Inductive comes from known data and doesn't have a set conclusion.

1.17 Models help scientists look at all their data. Models tend to be similar

1.18 Experiments are actually a process of gathering data. Starts w/ a question that they figure out how to test 1.19 Surveys take small portions of a large population and tests them

1.20 Formulating results come after the experiment. Results are either theories (that like models) and laws (they tend to be mathematical)

1.21 Scientific method is how you should approach questions scientifically. It has 5 main steps

1. Recognize problem
2. Make a hypothesis
3. Make observations to test hypothesis
4. Organize and analyze data
5. Verify the hypothesis
