Observation vs. Inference

What is an observation? When you observe, you become aware of something using one of your senses. Your five senses are smell, taste, sight, touch, and sound. In an observation you simply describe something as it appears. An observation is a statement describing a fact.

Observation In the space below, record 3 observations about your science classroom

What is an inference? When you infer, you make a mental judgment based on observations. Inferences cannot be directly observed. They require thought. An inference is a statement based on your interpretation of the facts.

List 3 inferences about the classroom

Examples OBSERVATIONS That plant is extremely wilted. The car stopped running The Patriots are leading their division INFERENCES That plant hasn’t had enough water. The car ran out of gas. The Patriots are playing well right now.

More examples What observations can we make about this picture? What can we infer based on this picture?

Observations? Inferences?

What observations can we make from these pictures? What inferences?
