During the observation phase of the scientific method, scientists are collecting data.
They can't create graphs or perform calculations, because they are still collecting data, nor can they report results to a colleague, because they have none to report.
Collecting data is a systematic endeavor. There is dependent variable and we are gathering information about that variable. This step helps us to understand how the dependent variable behaves under controlled experimental conditions. Collecting data eventually helps us to test hypothesis, understand research questions and evaluate outcomes.
