Scientific Literacy - Notes

Disclaimer: The next few entries were actually written at a much earlier date, but are only being uploaded now because, well - the blog's just been created hours ago! (:


Date: 12 January 2011


Science begins with observation!


Observations:
- Make use of 5 senses
- Make use of tools
- Should be detailed & accurate
- Use words and drawings
- Qualitative VS Quantitative
- Count, Estimate, Measure, Compare


Tools:
- Must be used in the correct manner; each tool is used in a different way
- E.g. a hand lens is used at a distance from the eye, while a loupe is brought close to the eye
