 WHAT IS
OBSERVATION?
• "People's minds are changed through
observation and not through
argument" - Will Rogers

• "Reason, Observation, and

Experience; the Holy Trinity of
Science" - Robert green Ingersoll
A. DEFINITION OF OBSERVATION
• It involves the use of all senses: seeing, tasting,
hearing , touching and smelling.
• An act of recognizing and noting a fact or
occurrence often involving measurement with
instruments. (Merriam Webster)
• Basic knowledge is learned through sense
observations.
• Science is not only rational; it is also empirical.
 B. TEACHING AND
LEARNING
THROUGH
OBSERVATION
• Observing helps construct reality and make sense of the
classroom environment.
• Gathering data from actual teaching experience is much
more effective.
• Learning to observe is a significant inquiry process for
children to consciously use while they are engaged in
science activities.
• Teachers can help children learn to trust their own
observations.

THINK
OBSERVATION
IS IMPORTANT?
Anyone from the class?
IMPORTANCE OF
OBSERVATION
 A. THE DEVELOPMENT OF
FACTS FROM OBSERVATION
Obtaining facts by searching for patterns in
data, numbers, or scientifically controlled
tests, and detecting such patterns using
sensory data.
B. THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CONCEPTS FROM
OBSERVATIONAL FACTS
The modern conception of science is
built on comprehending correlations and
patterns among structured ideas, often
known as concepts.
 C. INDIRECT
OBSERVATIONS
Processes that aren’t directly observed within
the human body, the motion and structure of
molecules or galaxies, or other layers of the
earth. (Foster, 1999)
C. INDIRECT OBSERVATIONS
Technologies that can be used are:

Telescope Radar

Microscope Sonar
Computer
