In the end, I show that the pragmatic theory of observation whose historical basis and contemporary formulation are extensively discussed in the second chapter triumphs as the philosophically most responsible account of the value of scientific observations. From my particular pragmatic viewpoint, I describe first how the rationality of induction can be established, and following this I reassess the value of Hempel's classic list of confirmation principles.
My final task is to use a new, overtly pragmatic definition of confirmation to re-evaluate the experimental confirmation by Rubens and Kurlbaum of Planck's quantum hypothesis. Hudson, Robert G.

Farmers and others use earthworms as a simple way to monitor soil health. Nicole has developed an identification guide that offers advice on when and how to sample for earthworms. Photos help the user to identify the earthworms from the soil samples. Different species provide different soil services like organic matter incorporation or creating soil pores so it is useful for farmers to know how many and what types of earthworms live in their soil.
For many students, one earthworm probably resembles the next as it struggles across the footpath on a rainy morning. Hopefully, this perception will change as students learn about how useful these creatures are to the soil ecosystem and spend some time observing their physical characteristics and movement!

It helps us decide, for instance, whether it is safe to cross the road. But observation is simply more than noticing something. It involves perception — we become aware of something through our senses. Standing on a roadside, our eyes tell us cars are quickly approaching.
We recognise that stepping in front of a car is dangerous, so we wait until the road is clear. Observation is essential in science. Scientists use observation to collect and record data, which enables them to develop and then test hypotheses and theories.
