 Observation is describing an object using your five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, & taste) or measurement (numbers).

 When describing something, use only facts that you can see, feel, smell, taste and hear  This is not an opinion!!!!!

Presentation transcript:

Topic: Scientific Skills Aim: What is the difference between observations and inferences? Do now: Observations are what you see, hear, taste, smell and touch. Observations can also be made with instruments exp. Mass or weight, temperature, etc.

What do you observe? What do you infer?

Your inference is your conclusion based on observations.
