Observation vs. Inference Starring Homer J. Simpson

Observation Ohh… This liquid is green and it is sticky. I also smell it. Observation: when studying something, describe only facts that you can see, touch, smell and hear (five senses). You are not making any guesses. THIS IS NOT AN OPINION!! Qualitative observations describe a quality on object possesses (such as texture, color, smell, taste…) Quantitative observations involve numbers!! This includes how many or a specific measurement.

THIS CAN BE A SCIENTIFIC OPINION Inference Based on my observations, I think that this can is old and is leaking a toxic substance. Inference: using your observations to make a LOGICAL ASSUMPTION about an object or an outcome THIS CAN BE A SCIENTIFIC OPINION
