Observation – something experienced through the 5 senses (Ex. There are 2 sets of tracks – 1 larger than the other) • Inference – using prior knowledge to further explain the presence of an observation (Ex. The larger track was made by a larger bird) • Different inferences can be drawn from the same observations • Inferences can become the basis of a hypothesis
