Observations Use one or more of the 5 senses to gather information Use one or more of the 5 senses to gather information A noting and recording of…. FACTS!!! A noting and recording of…. FACTS!!! Example: There is one TV in the room. Example: There is one TV in the room.

Inferences Logical interpretation based upon prior knowledge and experience Logical interpretation based upon prior knowledge and experience Based upon observations Based upon observations Example: When you entered the room, you most likely inferred that we would be talking about science stuff in class today Example: When you entered the room, you most likely inferred that we would be talking about science stuff in class today

Note the Differences In laboratory exercises, record observations NOT inferences Inferences may be used when writing the conclusion in your lab report. Let’s test your observation skills…

Take a good look at this picture

Question 1 Are there cars parked on the sides of the road?

Question 2 What color is the pickup truck driving in the road?

Question 3 Any minivans around?

Question 4 What does the blue sign say?

Question 5 What's the speed limit?

Question 6 Are there any pedestrians on the road?

Answers 1.Parked Cars - Yes 2.Pick-up Color - Blue 3.Minivans - Yes 4.Sign –“Yard Sale” 5.Speed Limit Sign - 35 mph 6.Pedestrians - No

Take a very close look at the 2 vertical lines. Is one line is longer than the other? They are the SAME length!

Does the square have curved sides?

Where are those dots coming from?! Your brain!

Look at the chart and say the color, NOT the word Your right brain tried to say the color, but your left brain was reading the word.

What images do you see?

Can you pick the tallest soldier? They are all the same height!

These circles are not moving, your brain is making them appear to move. Try focusing on one circle. It will stop moving.

Are these dots moving?

Does this image appear to be moving? It’s NOT! Just kidding, this one is actually moving
