Here's why:
* Observation: This is the process of using your senses to gather information about the world around you. You see, hear, smell, taste, and touch things to make observations.
* Interpretation: This is the process of making sense of your observations. You use your knowledge and understanding to explain what you have observed.
For example:
* Observation: You see a plant wilting.
* Interpretation: You might interpret this observation as meaning the plant needs water.
Other science process skills:
* Prediction: Making a guess about what might happen in the future based on your observations and understanding.
* Inference: Drawing a conclusion based on your observations and prior knowledge.
* Classification: Grouping things together based on shared characteristics.
* Measurement: Using tools to quantify observations.
