That basically means take notes. Whatever you are doing you are supposed to look at it and write down what you see or the data that you collect. You most often hear that when doing experiments.

Observations means the things you see happen. Record data is making notes of events which take place. Here is a simple example. I strike a match. The observation is that I struck a match and it lit. For data you could say that: A match was struck. It ignited. It emmited a large orange flame. The matchwood began to burn. When the matchwood burned completely the flame extinguished. you could of course be working wwith figures and not words for your data. If this is the case, your question needs to be more specific.

An "observation" is made when some form of work or the process which lead to an outcome is monitored by you, the researcher. The observation could capture either qualitative (i.e. I like Yahoo! Answers because I can ask any question) or quantitative (i.e. he used Yahoo! Answers five times in a one hour period) information. It could be said that this capture of information is to "record data."
