Observation & Inference

Observations Any information collected with the senses. The skill of describing scientific events. **Observations in science must be FACTUAL. Facts can be supported by evidence.

Inference Conclusions or deductions based on observations . The process of drawing a conclusion from given evidence.

What do you OBSERVE in the graphic? (At least 3) This graphic shows fossilized dinosaur tracks. They are common in parts of New England and in the southwestern United States. What do you OBSERVE in the graphic? (At least 3) What can you INFER from your observations? (at least 1)

List at least 3 observations and 1 inference Now what do you think? List at least 3 observations and 1 inference

One more time, make 3 observations and infer what happened based on your observations.
