Hey i am quite confused on this question, if someone could help me understand it i would really appreciate! :)

4. Collecting and Analyzing Data There are two types of observations: qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative observations use words to describe what is observed during the experiment. These notes are kept in a journal or logbook. Quantitative observations use numbers, such as calculations and measurements that are recorded in data tables. Scientists around the world use the same system of measurement called the metric system. In your experiment the unit for volume is cubic meters (m3). The unit for temperature is Kelvin (K). Create a data table for the quantitative data of the lab.

I did an experiment. Experiment was to strech tungsten until it fractured. My "tensometer" had a manual graph plotter. So I was able to plot the force vs extension of the tungsten.

When it broke, there was a loud bang. And it was hot to touch.

qualitative abive.

-------

quantitaive data could have been had I measured ad recorded the temperature of

the tungsten, and recorded the force and extension in a table of values.

You have to create table using cubic meters and the unit Kelvin to measure the temperature.
