Do Now: What is the difference between an observation and an inference?

Objectives: Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative observations. Differentiate between observations and inferences. Observation versus Inference Demonstration Observation versus Inference Activity Homework: Study guide and study for Wednesday’s Quiz Agenda:

Qualitative vs Quantitative Data Qualitative Data Overview: Deals with descriptions. Data can be observed but not measured. Example: Appearance Quantitative Data Deals with numbers. Data which can be measured. Example: Height

Observations Qualitative and quantitative observations is information based on the five senses and is a gathering of facts.

Inference Based on past information Conclusion Various Possibilities Possible outcome based on observations

Demonstration Qualitative Observations: Quantitative Observations Inferences

Make one qualitative observation about the picture above. Explain why this is a qualitative observation. Make one quantitative observation about the picture above. Explain why this is a quantitative observation.

Make one qualitative observation about the picture above. Explain why this is a qualitative observation. Make one quantitative observation about the picture above. Explain why this is a quantitative observation.
