Observation and Inferences What is the difference?

Discussion questions E.T. Newberry observed an object we call a car. E.T. Newberry observed an object we call a car. His observations were the following: His observations were the following:

E.T.’s observations 1. The life forms are giving off waste products as they move. 1. The life forms are giving off waste products as they move. 2. They appear to stop at times for food. 2. They appear to stop at times for food. 3. Smaller life forms appear to 3. Smaller life forms appear to

Observations Include gathering data through the five senses Include gathering data through the five senses Sight Sight Sound Sound smell smell Touch Touch Taste Taste

Inferences Are not based on your five senses Are not based on your five senses Inferences are conclusions derived from observations. Inferences are conclusions derived from observations. People could make the same observations and come up with different inferences; derived through their background knowledge. People could make the same observations and come up with different inferences; derived through their background knowledge.

Scientific Knowledge Based on your observations and inferences Based on your observations and inferences Scientific knowledge is subject to change because of new findings and perspectives. Scientific knowledge is subject to change because of new findings and perspectives.

Discussion Questions E.T. ‘s observations E.T. ‘s observations 1. The life forms are giving off waste products 1. The life forms are giving off waste products 2. They appear to stop at times for food 2. They appear to stop at times for food 3. Smaller life forms appear to give them a liquid substance in return for rides. 3. Smaller life forms appear to give them a liquid substance in return for rides. 4. Larger forms of life move on roads they appear to have a great deal of energy 4. Larger forms of life move on roads they appear to have a great deal of energy Communicate by giving off light and sound. Communicate by giving off light and sound.

E.T Newberry and Wicket’s different inferences 1. Why did they have different conclusions even though they had the same data? 1. Why did they have different conclusions even though they had the same data? 2. What are the current criteria for living things? 3. Do you think the current criteria for living things may change in the future?

Reasons for why car is nonliving/living Living things need some kind of systems- Living things need some kind of systems- (circulatory system) Living things reproduce Living things reproduce A car can not operate by itself A car can not operate by itself A car does not die A car does not die A car has a mechanical system A car has a mechanical system Parts of the car can be reused Parts of the car can be reused A baby depends on its parent A baby depends on its parent A car has a lifespan A car has a lifespan
