  1. Date: 8/?/16 Lesson Title: Observation vs. Inference Bell Ringer • 1.) As scientists, why do we perform experiments? Write down 3 observations you can make about this classroom? • 2.) Look at the image below. Write down what it is, and how you know.

  2. DO NOW ACTIVITY (D.N.A)

  3. MISSION • SWBATdifferentiate between observation and inference, and differentiate between qualitative and quantitativeobservations in order to develop a foundation in the • scientific inquiry process.

  4. WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science is a system of knowledge and about the methods you use to find that knowledge. ...it begins with CURIOSITY and often ends with DISCOVERY

  5. Before we get started... • SHOUT OUT WHATEVER OBSERVATIONS THAT YOU NOTICE...

  6. Information you gather using your five senses Factual information that describes something Key Term #1: Observation

  7. OBSERVATIONS

  8. **These are observations because it is information obtained directly through senses!** EXAMPLES OF OBSERVATIONS

  9. An INFERENCE is an assumption or a prediction made from observations Key Term #2: INFERENCE

  10. **Is an assumption that cannot be directly observed with the senses** EXAMPLES OF INFERENCES

  11. BACK TO THE DEMO • WERE THOSE OBSERVATION, INFERENCES or BOTH? • (*Try to use examples of what you said)

  12. LETS PRACTICE!! • Malleable Intelligence = Practice

  13. IN YOUR GROUPS... Hamburgers 200 People Cotton Candy What are your inferences? (Write your answer in your guided notes, be ready to share) Popcorn

  14. Look at these two sets of animal tracks and on your guided notes... • List 3 Observations • Make an Inference FRAME #1

  15. FRAME #2 List 3 Observations Make an Inference

  16. FRAME #3 List 3 Observations Make an Inference

  17. WHAT WERE THE TWO CATEGORIES THAT ALL OBSERVATIONS FALL UNDER? Back to OBSERVATIONS • QUALITATIVE or QUANTITATIVE

  18. ... ARE MEASURABLE OR COUNTABLE Key Term #3:Quantitative Observation

  19. EXAMPLES OF QUANTITATIVE

  20. Describable not measurable Key Term #4:Qualitative Observation

  21. EXAMPLES OF QUALITATIVE

  22. Let’s Practice 1 2 3 4 5 6

  23. EXIT TICKET • Time: 5 mins • Don’t Forget Your HW Worksheet. • Due tomorrow when you come in class.
