Thinking Like a Scientist LIFE SCIENCE sect 1.1 Mrs. Senese

Scientists Observe: Use all 5 senses to describe the problem (sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste). Observations can be Quantitative (number) or Qualitative (descriptive)

Inferring Inferring is to explain or interpret an observation by using the senses.

Predicting is using observations and knowledge to guess the outcome.

Classifying: Classifying items together based on size shape color and other characteristics.

Make Models Creating representations of complex processes or objects.

Communicating Communicating is sharing ideas and information with other people.
