Today we discussed lab safety and conducted an observational activity using a burning candle. This is a qualitative research activity versus a quantitative one. During the course of the year we will conduct both types of research and discuss the differences and similarities in how each type of research study is designed, conducted, analyzed, and reported.
Homework: You are to make an observation using the chart I passed out in class to organize and record your data. This is an observational activity and not an experimental one. You should observe a process of some kind (game, meal preparation, etc.) where there is a beginning (a set up of some kind), a middle (the process), and an end (some kind of finished product/completion of the activity). Write a 3 paragraph essay using your observational sheet to help organize the writing process. Due Tuesday.
