If something is Quantitative it is in the form of numbers and obtained by measurement. Eg: To time something you use a stopwatch and note down the number on the stopwatch.
If something is Qualitative you do not use numbers but instead note down what you observe and try to describe it in words. Eg: When I added the Silver Nitrate to the Chloride solution a white precipitate formed.

What are quantitive and qualitive observations?
Quantitative observations have to do with things that can be precisely measured. You are being asked for a number.Qualitative observations have more to do with characteristics of what is being observed.The first is generally considered more precise and is generally preferred in 'hard' science.Example:Quantitative observation-1) There are seven marbles on the table. They have a diameter of 1,5 centimeters.Qualitative-2) There are a bunch of marbles on the table. They are blue in color, round in shape, and smooth to the touch.
