23. -Explain why observations are important - Write detailed observations -Make inferences Today I will be able to…

24. Key Point 1: An observation is Gathering and collecting information (data) using your five senses and tools –Sight –Touch –Hear –Smell –Ruler –thermometer Ex: I taste that chocolate is sweet

25. Key Point 2: An inference is an interpretation of your observations Ex: I think this is a snickers because it tastes like chocolate and peanuts

26. The Difference Key Point #3: Observations are facts, and can’t be wrong. Inferences are beliefs, and can be wrong. Example: –Michael leaves the movie theatre, and sees that the ground is wet. So Michael thinks that it rained.

27. “Beyonce looks good” Observation or inference?

28. “Beyonce looks good” Not an observation!!! –It is not a fact that Beyonce looks good. –Some people disagree. This is an inference!!! –Whoever said this believes that Beyonce is attractive because of facts: she has clear skin, shiny hair, an hourglass figure, etc.

29. Observation or Inference? Part I This kid looks like a dork. The cowboy hat is brown. Cake tastes delicious. The bandana is red. I believe it is his birthday.

30. Partner Up Partners take turns answering Classify and explain why If your partner doesn’t explain why, ask them! If you disagree, you may ask your group If the whole group disagrees, all raise hands

31. Observation or Inference? Part I This kid looks like a dork. The cowboy hat is brown. Cake tastes delicious. The bandana is red. I believe it is his birthday.

34. Key Point Wrap-up #1: An observation is gathering information about the world through our five senses and tools #2: An inference is an interpretation of an observation #3: Observations are facts, and can’t be wrong. Inferences are beliefs, and can be wrong.
