These descriptions of the qualities you observe make up the qualitative data. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Measuring is the act of determining the exact amount or dimension of something. Measurements should include magnitude and unit. For example, the thermometer is measuring temperature. The magnitude is 37.5 and the unit is degrees Celsius. The measurement is 37℃. Tools like rulers, graduated cylinders, and scales can be used to measure. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills You can also compare the number of the object to another object. Using standard measures or estimations to describe specific dimensions of an object or event is considered quantitative data. Standard units of measure used in science are in the metric system. Length is measured in meters, volume in liters, and mass in grams. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills List two qualitative and two quantitative observations from the picture. Qualitative: * * Quantitative: bruce20011 / Via reddit.com * * Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills List two qualitative and two quantitative observations from the picture. Example answers. Qualitative: * The skull is brown. * The teeth are white. Quantitative: * There are four rows of teeth. bruce20011 / Via reddit.com * There are 18 teeth in the middle two rows. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Inferring is formulating assumptions or possible explanations based upon observations. Put together the information gathered and infer or assume what something is or what might happen. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Make an inference based on your observations about the picture. bruce20011 / Via reddit.com Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Make an inference based on your observations about the picture. Example answer: I can infer that this is a skull of someone who did not lose any of bruce20011 / Via reddit.com their baby teeth yet. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Classifying means to arrange a group of things in classes or categories according to shared qualities or characteristics. Classifying helps make predictions about its identity and behavior. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills For instance, if a new butterfly species is discovered, scientists can classify it based on its similarities and differences to other butterfly species. This may help tell the scientist information about what kind of predators the butterfly has, whether or not it migrates, or what types of plants it likes. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Classify the objects in the picture into at least 3 categories. Explain why you classified them the way you chose.  Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Travel Tools Water Classify the objects in the picture into at least 3 categories. Explain why you classified them the way you chose. Example: Two are related to travel, three are tools, and the rest are related to water. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Predicting is guessing the most likely outcome of a future event based upon a pattern of evidence. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Predict what the weather will be on the 11th day. Use descriptions like sunny, scattered storms, highs, lows, etc. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Predict what the weather will be on the 11th day. Use descriptions like sunny, scattered storms, highs, lows, etc. Example answer: There will be a chance of scattered storms with high temperatures in the high 80’s and low temperatures in the mid 70’s. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills The final basic science process skill is communicating, or using words, symbols, or graphics to describe an object, action, or event. It is important for scientists to share what they have learned with the community such as their results from an experiment to gather feedback. Sharing information could prevent unnecessarily repeated tests and mistakes.  Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Comprehension Check… Answer the following questions. 1. What are the five senses used to make qualitative observations? 2. What can classifying objects help do? 3. Why is it important to share new information with others?  Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Comprehension Check… Answers Answer the following questions. 1. What are the five senses used to make qualitative observations? Sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound. 2. What can classifying Classifying objects with objects help do? similar characteristics can help us predict more about its identity and behavior. 3. Why is it important If we continue to sharetowhat share wenew learninformation with it will prevent us from others? repeating tests an mistakes and will continue the learning process about the world around us. Integrated Science Process Skills Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Integrated science process skills include: controlling variables formulating hypotheses defining operationally experimenting formulating models interpreting data Integrated science process skills apply critical thinking and analyzing to expand on the basic science process skills. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Controlling Variables To state the changeable factors that can affect an experiment. It is important to change only the variable being tested and keep the rest constant. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Types of variables: Independent - The variable being manipulated Dependent - the variable being measured in response to the independent variable Constant - all factors that do not change in the experiment Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Two plants are grown using the same light and pots. One plant is given water that has been microwaved and the other plant is given regular tap water. Their height is measured after 2 weeks. Identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Two plants are grown using the same light and pots. One plant is given water that has been microwaved and the other plant is given regular tap water. Their height is measured after 2 weeks. Identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Independent variable: temperature of water Dependent variable: height Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills A hypothesis is stating the proposed solutions or expected outcomes for experiments. These proposed solutions to a problem must be testable and measurable. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills The hypothesis should propose how you think the independent variable will affect the dependent variable. Both variables should be included in your written hypothesis. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Defining operationally means explaining how a variable is to be recognized or measured in an experiment. Incorporate the design of the experiment by identifying materials and describing appropriate steps in a procedure to test a hypothesis. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills The operational definition is important to the scientific process because it provides a set of rules or procedures for carrying out the test or manipulating the variables. It is key to be clear and detailed when defining operationally. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Experimenting is carrying out an experiment by carefully following directions and procedures so the results can be verified by repeating the procedures several times. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills The test is run to see if the hypothesis is correct or null (rejected). Data is recorded when running the test so that the results can be analyzed. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Formulating models is recognizing patterns in data and making comparisons to familiar objects or ideas. making data tables and graphs for data collected. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills After collecting qualitative and quantitative data as observations and measurements it is important to interpret the data. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Interpreting data includes analyzing the data statistically, identifying human mistakes and experimental errors, evaluating the hypothesis, formulating conclusions, and recommending further testing where necessary. Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Interpreting data practice: What is this graph showing? What do you notice? What might be causing this? What prediction can you make using this information? Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Interpreting data practice: Example answers. What is this graph showing? Global temperatures over time. What do you notice? The global temperatures are increasing. What might be causing this? Greenhouse gasses. What prediction can you make using this information? That the temperature will continue to rise.  Basic and Integrated Science Process Skills Comprehension 1.
