1. Why were you able to observe so many things about your apple today?
2. Why is observation and description so important in science?
3. Rank order the five senses in the order or your observations (i.e. which sense was used most, second most, etc.).

1. I could observe this much because we had a long time and tools. The tools were a toothpick and magnifying glass. 
2. It's important in notes because you can't remember all the details. It also makes it easier to repeat an experiment. 
3. See,touch,smell,hear,taste.
