Please get your science notebook from off the table before we start class. Seat down in your seat and turn to the warm-up section (back of book). On.
Observing We observe when we use one or more of our senses to find out about objects, events, or living things An observation is a FACT learned directly.

Friday’s Homework

Pre-AP Assignment Find 3 unique day-to-day problem and show how the scientific method could be used to solve them. Must specify how each step would look.

6 th Grade Assignment Find a unique day-to-day problem and show how the scientific method could be used to solve it. Must specify how each step would look.

What do you observe?

Observation & Inference

Observations Any information collected with the senses. Quantitative – measureable or countable »3 meters long »4 marbles »50 kilograms »35 degrees Celsius Qualitative – describable, not measureable »red flowers »smells like fresh baked cookies »Tastes bitter The skill of describing scientific events

Lets be honest It is incredibly difficult to make an observation. Very often we like to jump to some kind of assumption. We like to draw conclusions immediately because we are hardwired to see connections. We instantly relate it to something we have from our past experiences. These can get in our way and lead to wrong or poor outcomes.

Inference Conclusions or deductions based on observations. The process of drawing a conclusion from given evidence. Practice: Observations: I hear people screaming I smell cotton candy, popcorn, and hamburgers I see a lot of people Inference = ?

What do you observe?

Look at these two sets of animal tracks. List 3 OBSERVATIONS Make an INFERENCE

Now what do you think? Make 3 OBSERVATIONS Make an INFERENCE

Now what do you think? Make 3 OBSERVATIONS Make an INFERENCE

Pre-AP Homework Go home and look at one of your family photos. List 6 observations (3 of them have to be quantitative) and 3 inferences and 1 prediction based ONLY on these observations.

6 th Grade Science Homework Go home and look at one of your family photos. List 4 observations and 4 inferences and 1 prediction based ONLY on these observations.

Activity Page In your science notebook, write your conclusion.
