Inferences

What could he be thinking? Is what you said an explanation to the question above? Then you made an inference!

Definition of Inferences: Conclusions based on observations. Inferences try to explain the observations made. Inferences are your opinion on why something happened.

Lets try to make our own inferences about these pictures…

Type 2 Writing A) what is the difference between a qualitative and quantitative observation? B)Make one observation & inference About this picture .
