Today we finished off the Draw-a-Scientist lab. We discovered that there are many misconception as to what a scientist is and most of these come from the entertainment industry. In general scientists are people who are trying to find the answer to solve a problem. This of course takes us to our next lesson which explains a step by step method that scientists use to solve a problem. The Method has an acronym. This acronym is P.O.H.E.C.C. We a just defining what each of the letters in this acronym stand for.
The P is for Problem.
The O is for Observation.
There are two types of observation
qualitative = the quality of something
quantitative= the amount of something
We will finish this off on Friday.
