observations, including formal measurements, can be made and recorded by following procedures to use familiar scaled instruments and digital tools as appropriate

• using appropriate equipment to make and record observations, for example using digital cameras and audio- or video-recording devices to document the life cycle of a living thing or to compare observations of local water sources at different times of the day or on different days
• using familiar scaled instruments with appropriate increments such as thermometers and measuring cups to make readings of ice or water in insulated containers
• rounding up or down when reading scaled instruments
• collaboratively designing a table to record observations in the form of numerical data, written descriptions, drawings or photographs
