Key Words Observing Inferring Predicting Classifying Making Models Scientific Attitudes

Observing Using one or more of your senses to gather information Two types of observations: QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE

Five Senses Touch Taste Sight Smell Hearing

Quantitative Observations deal with a number or an amount Examples: 1) There are 30 students in the science classroom. 2) There are 11 players on a soccer team.

Qualitative Observation deal with descriptions that cannot be expressed in numbers Examples: 1) Caden was wearing a blue jacket. 2) The orange juice tasted sweet.

Inferring Explaining or interpreting things you observe. Using information you gathered to try and figure out what is going on. NOT guessing wildly…using reasoning skills to try and explain what you see happening Like putting pieces of a puzzle together

What do you infer….?

Possible Inferences She found an exciting new scientific phenomenon! She made a big boo boo! She is shocked by something she read in her textbook.

Predicting Making a forecast of what will happen in the future based on past experience or evidence. NOT a guess…because you are using information from the past Can be incorrect Meteorologists (weather people) make predictions ALL of the time…when looking at current weather patterns they use past weather patterns to predict what type of weather is moving into the area!!! (Reason they are wrong at times)

Example Prediction I think the rose in the sugar water will survive the best because the plant food they give you when purchasing roses contains sugar.

Classifying The process of grouping together items that are alike in some way. Examples: movies, books, clothing, food

Candy Classification Color Taste Shape Wrapper/No Wrapper Like/Don’t Like Brand Written on/Not Written on Chewy/Hard

Models Creating a representation of complex objects or processes. Examples: globes, maps, movie sets, posters showing the atom
