What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative observations?
Qualitative observation describes qualities or characteristics using the five senses (e.g., color, texture, shape) without using numbers and A quantitative observation involves measurements or counts expressed using numbers (e.g., length, mass, temperature, count).
