Observations and Inferences

Observations An observation is something you notice, measure, or detect. You make observations using your 5 senses: sight smell taste touch hearing

Qualitative observations Things you notice using your senses that can’t be measured Examples: color, texture, smell

Quantitative Observations Measureable characteristics Anything that can be measured with something like a ruler, scale, thermometer, or graduated cylinder

Observations Scientific observations are based on facts (things you see or measure), not opinions, feelings, or ideas.

An inference is an idea formed from facts or evidence. Inferences An inference is an idea formed from facts or evidence. Evidence is proof that supports an idea.

Scientific observations help scientists make inferences. An inference that can be tested is called a hypothesis.
