1. Inference and Observation
I can differentiate between inference and observations.

2. Essential Questions
What is an inference? How is this different from an observation?
What is an observation? How is this different from an inference?

3. Let’s Rap!
An observation is what you know because your senses tell you so.
“I see...”, “I feel...”, “I smell...”, “I hear...”, words make observations clear.
An inference is a good guess, It’s nothing more and nothing less.
“I think...”, “It might...” and “probably...”, Show it’s an inference, you see.
Remember what I’m telling you. An observation you know is true.
An inference you can’t be sure. It’s a good guess, nothing more.

4. What is an Observation?

5. What is an Inference?

6. Think-Pair-Share
Think about the difference between observation and inference.
When you know what it is, put your hands on your head.
Turn to your shoulder partner and tell them.

18. Game Time! YAY!!! Number your paper 1-20
I am going to read to you a sentence. When you think it is an Observation, write “O”
When you think it is an inference, write “I”
I will know you are ready when you are giving me a thumbs up! :)

At the bottom (or back) of your paper, write down a 20¢ summary of observation and inference.
