Data

Data - Easy to Understand Definition

Information gathered through observation

Real World Example

Imagine trying to decide which new restaurant to try for dinner. Just like you might ask friends for their recommendations, skim online reviews, or even walk by to see how busy it is, scientists gather data through observation to understand a phenomenon. In both cases, whether choosing a restaurant or conducting scientific research, you're collecting information by observing the environment and forming a conclusion based on that accumulated evidence.
