qualitative observation
Manipulative observations
Qualitative (quantitative are observations that can be expressed numerically)
When observations deal with amounts or numbers, they are called quantitative observations. These observations involve measurable data that can be expressed numerically, allowing for statistical analysis and comparisons. Quantitative observations are essential in scientific research as they provide objective evidence that can be replicated and verified.

Observations that deal with descriptions that cannot be expressed in numbers are called qualitative observations.

Observations that deal with descriptions are called qualitative observations. They focus on the characteristics, qualities, and attributes of objects or phenomena, often using sensory details such as color, texture, and appearance. Unlike quantitative observations, which involve measurements and numbers, qualitative observations provide a more subjective understanding of the subject being studied.
