Observation vs. Inference The Ultimate Showdown

Review - Observation What is an observation? Using your five senses to take note of and take a closer look at your surroundings What is an observation you can make about our classroom? It must be factual. Observations collect what kind of data?

Inference An inference is when you make an assumption or prediction about something that you observe After you make an observation, you usually make an inference about what is going on!

Let’s practice making inferences! The next three slides show some fossil imprints that were found during an archeological dig in GA. We’re going to each make some observations and then record some inferences about what may have happened millions of years ago…. As you silently look at these 3 slides, I want to see at least 2 observations for each slide written down.

2 observations!

2 observations!

2 more observations! Let’s Share Our Observations!!! How Many can we make as a class?

What do you think happened? Now it is time to make our Inferences! In your notebook, please write a short paragraph (around ½ page – be DETAILED please) describing what you think happened to the creatures in our fossil evidence. ***Support your inferences with specific observations!

Physiographic region– regions of Georgia characterized by their physical geography Appalachian Plateau - mountainous province is found in extreme northwestern Georgia Ridge and Valley - region of parallel valleys separated by ridges in the northwest corner of the state. Piedmont – region of rolling hills and occasional isolated mountains Blue Ridge – region of irregular sequence of mountains, ridges, and basins Coastal Plains-flat region of well- drained rolling hills and poorly drained flatwoods, includes Okefenokee basin, swamps and marshes Which physiographic region do you think would support your fossil observations and why?
