Chemical Property • How one substance will react with another substance • Flammability • Stability • Toxicity • Heat of combustion
Observation • Information taken is using your one or many of your five senses • Sight • Hearing • Taste • Touch • Smell
Inference • Using prior knowledge to make a prediction about an outcome • Some examples… • Look at those dark clouds, it’s going to rain. • It looks really hot outside today. • Amy looks like she is going to cry.

1. What are some observations you could make to distinguish the objects from one another?
3. What physical properties distinguish the piece of paper from the piece of chalk?
