OBSERVATIONS AND INFERENCES
ObservationsMeans using one or more of
your five senses to gather information. Must be a FACT Must be specific and accurate,
so that it means the same to everyone.Example: Incorrect: The burning bag smelled
nasty Correct: The burning bag smelled
similar to rotten eggs
Inference
When you explain or interpret something based on what you observe. It is NOT an opinion or a guess!
Example: You see a lot of students in the halls between classes wearing hats so you infer that one of the teams is having a hat day.
Make your own inferences!
1. All middle school students are bringing lunch from home.
2. The principal interrupts class and calls a student from the room.
3. The classroom lights are off.
