21. QUALITATIVE OBSERVATIONS
Qualitative Observations are when you use your senses (sight, taste, smell, feeling and hearing) to note characteristics
QUALITATIVE  QUALITY
EXAMPLES: odor, color, state of matter

22. QUANTITATIVE OBSERVATIONS
Quantitative Observations are characteristics than can be measured
QUANTITATIVEQUANTITY (or amount)
Examples: density, mass, boiling point, melting point, length

23. Do not write on the assessment, only your answer sheet.
