  1. Observations and Inferences

  2. Bell Work- Start a new page, and answer this in your notebook. • Look at this picture. In your science notebook, write a one paragraph story that explains how this picture came to be. Use the facts you see in the picture to help write your story.

  3. Jetblue Flight 292 • YouTube Video:

  4. In your science notebook, answer these questions: • How did your story differ from the true story? • Did you use only FACTS in your story or did you make some assumptions?

  5. Do Now: • Use a yellow highlighter to go back through your paragraph. Highlight the FACTS that you used in your paragraph. • What is a fact?

  6. Experiment Time! • You are going to visit four stations and try to identify what is in the mystery bag. Here is the catch: YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BAG! • What ways can you identify what is in the bag?

  7. Data Table

  8. Line of Learning • Draw in your line of learning. Think about these questions, then answer it. • What is the difference between and observation and an inference? • Were you making observations in the lab just now, inferences, or both?

  9. Observation • Describing something using your five senses. • Another word for a fact. • You can not dispute an observation. It is true. • Examples: • The sky is blue. • It is sunny out. • The item in container 3 weighed 5 grams.

  10. Inference • A judgment using prior knowledge that explains an observation. • Could be called an opinion. • Not always true! • Examples: • I saw Jake yawn; therefore, he is tired • It is sunny, so it must be hot outside. • Object 3 rolled, so it must be a bouncy ball.

  11. Do Now: • Go back to the paragraph you wrote about the airplane. Look at what you thought were “facts.” Are those really facts, or are they inferences? • Make a T-Chart in your notes and record your observations and inferences from your story! Observations Inferences

  12. Homework • Make another T-Chart in your notes. Tonight, when you go home make 5 observations and 5 inferences about your home. • Due tomorrow! Observations Inferences
