Do Now Take out notebook and copy chart ObservationExamples

Different Types of Data

Observation Any use of the senses to gather information Measurements are observations that are made with instruments such as rulers and timers. No opinions included

Examples of Observations The sky is blue. This soda bottle has a volume of 1 liter. Sandpaper is rough

List three observations.

InferencesExamples

Inference What you think based on your observations and previous knowledge The conclusions you draw after you gather your information

Now can you name three inferences?.

Select one of these cartoons and list several observations and inferences.

Qualitative Quantitative

Qualitative Data The baseball flew out of the park like a rocket The plant is red with long thorns

Quantitative Data Facts that use numbers to describe the data Example: the baseball traveled at 95 miles per hour
