Observations: Key to scientific discovery!• Look closely at the following pictures.• Jot down in your science notebook what you
immediately see.• Look closer, do you see anything else?
Now conference with your table what do you see. Use whisper voices.
Second Picture: Repeat same process. Observe, then write in notebooks.
Discuss with partners.
Third picture: Repeat same process. Observe, then write in notebooks.
