Presentation Transcript

Slide1

Inference and ObservationSlide2

Warm up

Share your picture with the people at your table group.

Make sure you have your Science notebook, agenda and a sharpened pencil

use tape to put it in front of your table of contentsSlide3

Describe the difference between observations and inferences

Be able to give specific examples of each

ObjectiveSlide4

In science, you need to be very curious and observant to your surroundings. Please label page two Inferences and observations

Turn to page 8 in your interactive notebook and label it “Bag Activity” and number the page 1 - 9 skipping a few lines.

Bag ActivitySlide5

Starting with the table you are at. You will feel the bag (carefully) and write your guess in your ISN (interactive science notebook). I will tell you when it is time to switch to the next station

When you infer, you make a mental judgment based on observations. Inferences cannot be directly observed. They require thought. For example, if you get up in the morning, look up at the sky and observe dark clouds, observe the air is cool and humid, and observe puddles on the ground, you might infer that it has recently rained. Note: you did not

see

rain; you

decided

that it rained based on your observations.

An inference is a statement based on your interpretation of the facts.

To InferSlide14

You see steam rising off of a cup of coffee. (Observation)

The coffee is hot. (Inference)

Often an observation leads to an inferenceSlide15

The piece of metal is red, so it must be hot.

The plant is green, so it must be healthy.

The room is dark, so the light bulb must not be on.

Andrea is studying, so she probably does well in school.

The street is wet, so it must have rained.

Ovservations - to - inferenceSlide16

I

observe

that I see a swimming pool

I

observe

that my dog feels wet

I

infer

that my dog jumped in the water

ExampleSlide17

There can be more than one inference to any given observationSlide18

The child has a blue block

Observation or inference?Slide22

The child playing with the car is smiling

Observation or inference?Slide23

The child is happy because she is playing with the car

Observation or inference?Slide24

What do you observe?Slide25

What do you infer?Slide26

Exit ticket - Make 3 observation and two inferences about this pictureSlide27

IN your science journal think back to the bag activity - were you making observations or inferences?
