There are two categories of scientific observations, Quantitative and Qualitative.

The definitions of these two types of observations can be derived from their names.

Qualitative: The base word is Quality. Observations can be made about the qualities of different items, i.e., leaves are green, birds can fly, water is clear.

Quantitative: The base word is Quantity. Something you can measure or count i.e., a tree has 1000 leaves, birds have two wings, water has a density of ~1000 kilograms per cubic meter.
