Aim: What is the difference between an Observation and an Inference? Do Now: Sit with your groups and finish the “Testing a Hypothesis” activity. HOMEWORK:

 Observation is describing an object using your five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, & taste) or measurement (numbers).

P.289/3/15 In ?: ► What is an observation? Give examples to support your explanation.

Observations Versus Inferences

What do you see?

Describe what you see.

Observations ► Use all 5 senses ► A noting and recording of….  FACTS!!! ► Quantitative  Example: There is one door in the room. ► Qualitative  Example: The bulletin board is covered in space fabric.

What observations can we make about this photo?

Inferences ► Cannot be observed. ► Logical conclusion based on something already known or believed to be true ► Uses observations.  Example: She is wearing a coat, it must be cold outside.

Let’s Practice…

Picture #1 Observations? Inferences?

Picture #2

Picture #3

Picture #4

Note the Differences ► During experiments, scientists record observations NOT inferences ► Inferences are used in the conclusion in your lab report.

Ticket out the door ► Make 3 observations about this photo ► Make 1 (one) inference about this photo.
