Today, the students learned the importance of using numbers, when possible, in their scientific observations. Any measurable observation is called a QUANTITATIVE OBSERVATION. For example, it is considered a quantitative observation when you use a ruler, balance, measuring cup, quantity, etc. Making observations using your senses is also an important part of making observations. We call these QUALITATIVE OBSERVATIONS. For example, making observations using your senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, and hear)
1.) SCIENCE: Bring three items to observe under the microscope tomorrow. Plants and insects work well. If possible, see if you can get some pond water that you can look at under the microscope.
2.) POST A REPONSE #1: Based on what you have learned over the last two days, give one sentence giving a QUANTITATIVE observation of any object (living or non-living). Read today's blurb if you are unsure of what this means.
3.) POST A RESPONSE #2: Based on what you have learned over the last two days, give one sentence giving a QUALITATIVE observation of any object (living or non-living). Read today's blurb if you are unsure of what this means.
4.) POST A RESPONSE #3: Go back to yesterday's response and post what your item was. If you haven't guessed what some of the items are, post what you think they are before the answers are revealed!

5.) VALENTINE'S DAY TREATS/CARDS: Bring some treats and cards to share with everyone!
