Question

Which best describes the act of using senses or tools to gather information

Answer 1

The act of using senses or tools to gather information is called Observation.

Answer 2

Answer: It is called an observation

Explanation: When we have a phenomenal and we want to gather information about it, we need to "observe" it.

This may be done by using our senses, like looking, smelling, touching, or a more modern approach, using tools, like spectrometers, velocimeter, or the needed tool.

A given feature of a phenomenon that can be measured is called an "observable", and the act of measuring this "observable" is called an "observation"
