Question

an observation is any information that is gathered with the senses. true false question 2 observations raise questions that lead to scientific investigations. true false question 3 observations help scientists gather evidence in investigations. yes no

Explanation:

• Question 1: In scientific methodology, an observation is indeed the gathering of information using the senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell). For example, seeing that a plant is wilting (visual sense - sight) is an observation.
• Question 2: Observations often prompt questions. For instance, if one observes that a certain species of bird is only seen in a particular type of forest (observation), it can lead to questions like "Why is this bird species restricted to this forest type?" which then can be investigated scientifically (e.g., studying habitat preferences, food sources in that forest).
• Question 3: Observations are a fundamental part of scientific investigations. Scientists make observations (e.g., observing the behavior of a chemical reaction - how it changes color, temperature over time) which serve as evidence. This evidence can then be used to support or refute hypotheses.

Answer:

• Question 1: True
• Question 2: True
• Question 3: Yes
