A good scientific observation is specific — it uses your senses and describes exactly what you notice. Let's see the difference.
| Change | Weak observation | Strong observation |
|---|---|---|
| Melting butter | "It melted." | "The solid yellow butter slowly turned into a clear yellow liquid when heated." |
| Fizzing tablet | "It bubbled." | "Bubbles of gas rose quickly to the surface and the tablet shrank until it disappeared." |
