Observing & Inferring

Observation: using the 5 senses to gather information (see, touch, smell, hear or taste) Inference: Making an interpretation based on observations and prior knowledge. ** This will be in PAST or PRESENT tense. NOT future tense.***

Types of Observations Qualitative: use 5 senses to describe (feels like …, tastes like …, smells like …, sounds like …, looks like …) Quantitative: use numbers to describe Examples: Examples: Distance – centimeters, meters, kilometers Distance – centimeters, meters, kilometers Mass – milligrams, grams, kilograms Mass – milligrams, grams, kilograms Volume – milliliters, liters, kiloliters Volume – milliliters, liters, kiloliters
