Observation & Inference

Observations Any information collected with the 5 senses. The skill of describing scientific events.

2 Types of Observation Qualitative observation: observation based off of one of your senses. Examples: The chocolate tastes sweet. Her shirt is red. It smells like roses. Quantitative observation: observation using numbers. Examples: The mass was 68 grams. There were 25 blue folders. It’s 98 degrees outside.

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

Tracks like these are common in parts of New England and in the southwestern United States. What do you OBSERVE? What can you INFER?

Now what do you think?

Infer what happened based on your observations.
