Observational studies and surveys are two neat ways to collect information, but they work in different ways.

1. Observational Studies:

   • In these studies, you simply watch what people do in their everyday lives.
   • You don’t get involved or ask them questions.
   • It’s like being a fly on the wall during a science experiment!

2. Surveys:

   • Surveys mean you ask people questions directly.
   • You get answers based on what they think or how they act.
   • It’s like filling out a questionnaire that gathers specific information.

In short, observational studies show you how people behave in real life, while surveys focus on what people say about their thoughts and actions.

Both methods are super useful for gathering data!
