Yes, smell is considered to be an observation. When observing something a person can smell it. This leads them to feeling an emotion about what they are smelling.
It has been my observation that most people with noses do smell!
yes it can because there's different types>
A qualitative observation is an observation that describes the properties of something by using our five senses (touch, taste, smell, see, and hear).
Qualitative observation deals with information that can be observed with our senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing.
Give one example of an observation that you could make with your 5 senses.
An observation is looking and comprehending what you see, smell, feel, taste, or hear. An inference is making an educated guess on what you observed.
While involved in focused observation many senses are employed. The sense of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell can all play an important part in a detailed observation.
A qualitive observation is an observation of a product of a reaction which cannot be measured numerically, e.g. colour, state of matter. A quantitive observation is an observation which can be measured, e.g. size, volume.
Sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
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.
A qualitative observation is a description based on qualities such as color, texture, smell, or shape rather than numerical measurements. It focuses on characteristics that can be observed but not measured objectively.
An example of a qualitative observation is describing the color of a flower as being pink. This type of observation is based on qualities or characteristics that cannot be measured, such as texture, smell, or taste.
