Learning Target • Identify, create, and understand the difference between an Observation and Inference.
Science Assignment #9 Inference and Observation • Observation – factual description of information presented • Inference – the story, conclusion, or explanation you give to your observations
Below your definitions, divide a section into 3 spaces • Inference • Observation • _____________________________________ • Inference • Observation • _____________________________________ • Inference • Observation

Observation and Inference Foldable • Follow instructions for folding paper. • Four observations. • Four inferences. • Use a ruler!!!! • Color, neatness, creativity, effort, and correct concepts will earn you a good grade. This assignment is worth 20 points!
Homework • Work on your Observation and Inference Foldable, Due Wednesday!
Warm-Up • Explain in your own words an Observation. • Explain in your own words an Inference.
Learning Target • Complete appropriate data charts, graphs, and conclusions from sets of data.
Table and Graph Practice • Use a ruler to make all of your data tables. • Use a ruler and color in your graphs. • Use a RULER and COLOR in your graphs! • Use a RULER and COLOR in your graphs! • Use a RULER and COLOR in your graphs!
Warm-Up • PLEASE TURN IN YOUR OBSERVATION/INFERENCE FOLDABLE!!! • Explain at least five parts that make a graph successful.
Learning Targets • Complete appropriate data conclusions. • Receive feedback on your graphs and conclusions. • Continue with the Official Investigational Design through a Reaction Time Lab.
Conclusions • Once finished with your graphs, write a conclusion based on the data for EACH graph. • Use your Official Investigation Design Format Sheet (yellow) to help you. • Remember a conclusion is a well-developed paragraph. • When writing your conclusion, use the “Results” section as your guide.
Conclusion • Start with an Introductory Sentence! • Then, answer these questions (from the “Results” section of your yellow sheet): • Answer the lab question in a complete sentence. • Use the data values to support your answer to the lab question. Use averages too! • Use conclusive language to compare your high and low data values. (more than, less than, greater than, etc.). Include an actual # indicating the difference in data. • An ending sentence.
