One intended goal is to help children develop observation skills.

That's a bit broad. By age 3, children usually have amazing observation skills. Just watch them imitate their parents' and siblings' actions!
In your science activity, though, what type(s) of observation skills do you want them to develop?
Read through these ideas below (from http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/ages-stages-helping-children-develop-logic-reasoning-skills )
<i>Judging by appearances. When the form or appearance of a material changes, it's difficult for preschoolers to understand that quantities remain the same (or are "conserved"). For instance, during snack time, Janelle dumps her box of animal crackers on the table. Latisa looks into her own tightly filled box of crackers, then pouts and asks why Janelle has more crackers. She doesn't logically understand that if Janelle's crackers were placed back in the box, the quantities would look and be the same.
Looking at one thing at a time. Because it's hard for preschoolers to focus on more than their own singular perception, they tend to sort objects by one characteristic, rather than by two. If given some small blocks of different sizes, colors, and shapes, for example, young threes might decide to sort them by lining them up by size and calling them a "parade." However, older threes and fours might organize them by two attributes (color at first, then later by shape or size as well).</i>
