Earth Science Observations recognizing and noting some FACT to gather information about the world

Earth Science You make observations using your five senses Sight - Detects color, size, and shape. Hearing - Reaction to moving air Taste - Sweet, salty, bitter, sour. Smell - Reaction to gases. Touch - Reaction to pressure, temperature. We are not sensitive enough to detect high sounds or radio waves.

Earth Science Observations must be specific and accurate, not relative, so that it means the same to everyone. Example: –Incorrect - the burning bag smelled nasty –Correct - the burning bag smelled similar to rotten eggs

Earth Science Inference a possible explanation or guess about an observation Example: you leave the movie theater and see the ground is wet so you infer that it rained.

Earth Science Look at the picture below and write three observations and two inferences

Earth Science Mr. Peanut Wait for directions When making observations be as specific as possible!
