However, they can also be used for reflections and observations on professional development of a scientist.

Journal Entries

There are several types of journal entries that you can do. The newspaper is the most basic point of data entry. input data point are used to record specific information about an observation, such as temperature, size or response.

The second type of log that you can do is a journal of observation. This entry will "describe" something based on your point of view of this object. Input observation will describe things as colors, textures and positions of one or more objects.
