There are two basic types of observation, quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative defines while qualitative data describes. Observations such as smell, taste, and appearance are all qualitative. As opposed to quantitive which is any observation (such as size, or weight) where a definitive value can be assigned.
"The helicopter fell quickly" is an example of a qualitative observation. This is because it does not define "quickly" by giving it a fixed value.
It is qualitative.
quantitive observation
quantitive means amount, qualitative means quality or the integrity
A quantitative observation means to measure the amount of something. Meaning you would use things like a triple beam balance, graduated cylinder, or a mass scale a ruler, anything that will give you data in numbers not qualitative like color or murkiness of water. So 25 grams not it has a reddish tint to it.
quantitive observation is where you can observe a large number of people or things at once ie a survey would create quantitative data as a large number of people can take a survey. QUALITATIVE observation in comparrison is more in depth ie you would get qualitative data from one on one in depth interveiws A quantitavive observation uses numbers and measurements to describe something. for example 3 cm (centimeters) 0.7643 mm(millimeters)

A qualitative observation is used in chemistry, and is simply observing physical changes.
