1 Do Now: Write a detailed account of what happened in the cartoon.

Update the mastery tracker in your notebooks for Inquiry/Lab Safety/ and Procedures 3.

2 Tracking Our Mastery We will be tracking how much we learn throughout the year, so we can create goals. 1. Complete the mastery worksheet for the inquiry pretest 2. Update the mastery tracker in your notebooks for Inquiry/Lab Safety/ and Procedures 3. Room should sound like a NINJA Divide the number correct, by the total number of questions for each category to find the percentage.

3 3 Observation vs. Inference 3 What is an Observation? 1) Through What is an Inference? 1) 2) Qualitative observation: 3) Example: Quantitative observation: Example: Make an observation about the classroom.

4 Scientific Method

5 Scientific Method: Observation Qualitative: Descriptive color, texture, odor Ex: My phone is running slower than my friend s phone Quantitative: Numerical 3.5 m, 65.7mL Ex: My phone has 50 more apps than my friend s phone

6 Observations The plant is green. The piece of metal is orange. It is raining outside. The car alarm is beeping 5 times per minute. The wall has a 2m crack in it. The room feels humid.

7 Observations & Inferences Turn and talk with your partner Make at least 5 observations about the picture below

8 Inference A conclusion drawn using observations and reasoning NOT a fact you can detect using one of the five senses An explanation of your observation Example: When you entered the room, you observed someone standing in the front of the room, then inferred that is the teacher.

9 Influences Several things can influence our observations and our inferences Experience Knowledge Emotion Attention to detail.

10 Example I observe that I see a swimming pool I observe that my dog feels wet I infer that my dog jumped in the water

11 Example I observe that Nick is yawning I observe that Nick has his head on his desk I infer that Nick did not get enough sleep last night

12 OBSERVATIONS INFERENCES That plant is extremely wilted. That plant is extremely wilted due to a lack of water. The car stopped running The car stopped running because it was out of gas.

16 Observation or Inference? The child is happy because he is playing with a car.

17 Observation or Inference? The grass is wet, it must have rained last night.

18 Observations & Inferences Make an inference about this picture

19 What do you observe? 3 observations

20 What do you infer? 3 inferences based on your observations

21 6 9/12/13 Observation vs. Inference 7 In? What are your five senses? How do they Help us in science? Through What is an Observation? Information you gather using one of your five senses Factual information that describes an object Key Terms Out? Observation Inference Complete WS Give an example of an observation about the classroom: The classroom is cold What is an Inference? A conclusion drawn using observations and reasoning NOT a fact you can detect using one of the five senses An explanation Make an inference about the picture: Those are Dinosaur tracks

22 Complete the WS Use the following picture for guidance

23 Do Now 1. Make 3 observations about the picture 2. Make an inference about the picture

24 House Keeping Turn in Lab Safety Projects Paste Observation vs. Inference notes on the front of page 3

25 Observe this picture

26 Questions 1. Are there cars parked on the sides of the road? 2. What color is the pickup truck driving in the road? 3. What does the blue sign say? 4. What's the speed limit? 5. Are there any pedestrians on the road?

28 Answers 1. Yes 2. Blue 3. Yes 4. Yard Sale mph 6. No It s important that we observe things closely, because our observations may trick us. That s why scientists use tools to gather their data.

29 Accurate Vs. Precise

30 Observations and Inference Stations At each station make 1. A qualitative and quantitative observation 2. An inference about each picture 3. Answer the questions

31 Observation Vs. Inference Complete the worksheet

USING OBSERVATIONS AND INFERENCES IN SCIENCE

USING OBSERVATIONS AND INFERENCES IN SCIENCE What is an observation? When you observe, you become aware of something using one of your senses. Your five senses are smell, taste, sight, touch, and sound.
