Marikina Science High School: Learning Targets
Marikina Science High School: Learning Targets
Background:
In science investigation, observing is the fundamental science process skill. We observe objects and
events using all our five senses, and this is how we learn about the world around us. The ability to make good
observations is also essential to the development of the other science process skills: communicating,
classifying, measuring, inferring, and predicting. We use two main types of observations: qualitative and
quantitative. Qualitative observations involve describing qualities and characteristics using our senses, while
quantitative observations involve precise measurements and numbers to describe quantities. Both types of
observations help scientists gather information, make comparisons, and draw conclusions about the natural
world.
