Scientific Observation
• Precise - attention to detail• Descriptive – paints a vivid image• Formal & Academic – use academic/scientific
language• Concise – no extra words• Focused on sensory observations – what was
seen, heard, felt, smelled, etc.
Examples
• The unknown was yellowish-orange in color and had a fruity smell.
• The mixture boiled at 105.3 degrees F.
• The substance was sticky and moist to the touch.
• I think it’s a snail egg, but I’m not sure. It reminded me of Grandma’s cooking, especially the soup she made for my birthday.
• The stuff was super hot.
• Gross! Nobody in their right mind would touch this!
