Observation vs. Inference Starring Homer J. Simpson

Observation Ohh… This liquid is green and it is leaking from a brown can. I also smell it. Observation: when studying something, describe only facts that you can see, touch, smell and hear. You are not making any guesses. THIS IS NOT AN OPINION!!

THIS CAN BE A SCIENTIFIC OPINION Inference Based on my observations, I think that this can is old and is leaking a toxic substance. Inference: using your observations to make a guess about an object or an outcome THIS CAN BE A SCIENTIFIC OPINION

Group Practice Please Make some observations and inferences about the following picture.

Individual Practice In your notes, please write down 2 observations and 2 inferences about the following picture.
