Observation and thinking are our innate nature, the source of knowledge and the cradle of innovation. However, without effective observation and thinking methods, it is difficult for us to acquire real knowledge, let alone invention and creation. Therefore, one of the core goals of education is to cultivate and improve our ability of observation and thinking. So, how to refine this ability?

Set clear and specific observation objectives

Setting clear and specific observation targets can guide our observation activities and enable us to quickly capture key information from chaotic phenomena. For example, when we want to understand the growth mystery of plants from seeds to plants, we should focus on observing the growth process of plants, so as to deeply understand their growth mechanism.

Choose the correct and in-depth observation method

Choosing the correct and in-depth observation method can help us to understand the internal characteristics and essence of the observed object more comprehensively and deeply. By choosing appropriate observation methods, we can better tap the treasure of knowledge and ignite our own knowledge sparks.
