Created by Jeremy Mularella Oak Middle School.  An observation is the gathering of information by using our five senses:  Sight  Smell  Hearing 

 When describing something, use only facts that you can see, feel, smell, taste and hear  This is not an opinion!!!!!

Inferences and Observations “You can observe a lot just by watching” -Yogi Berra Goal: Describe the scientific processes of observing and inferring.

Goal: Describe the scientific processes of observing and inferring

Observation and Inference Notes. OBSERVATION OBSERVATION- – Information collected using your five senses (sight, smell, touch, taste and hear); facts.

Observation and Inference

**Observations** Quantitative Observations – observations using measurements. Numbers Quantity – how many? Weight/height/length Temperature.

Observations Use one or more of your five senses to gather information

Observations An observation is any information that we gather using our five senses. EXAMPLE:

Warm-up~ Observation Challenge Mystery Observation Science\Balloons.ppt Get your ISN: Take out a half sheet of paper and number it Do NOT write your.

... Are reasonable conclusions derived from observations.  Inferences are based on your prior knowledge and past experiences.  Scientists make inferences.

OBSERVATIONS AND INFERENCES Miss Scillieri “You can see a lot just by observing”- Yogi Berra Memorial School

Observations are ways you learn about the world using your five senses

Two Types of Observation Quantitative Think quantity! Observation through Numbers or measuring Example: 2 Flowers Qualitative Think quality Observation through descriptions Example: Red Rose Two Types of Observation

Practice Makes Perfect Look around the room and talk at your tables what are some QUALITATIVE and QUANTATIVE OBSERVATIONS Practice Makes Perfect

Inferences are LOGICAL explanations made from observations.

Let’s Practice The green grass was wet this morning. Example Inference: Someone watered the lawn Morning dew made it wet Miss Scillieri had a stain on her blouse Think about it what is in an inference about this statement? Let’s Practice

Make 1 Inference Critical Thinking

Now try this!

Now what do you think?
