Observations and inferences are a lot like facts and opinions. To practice these very important skills, we looked at 3 slides and inferred what happened to 2 different animals. Some of you had some interesting inferences!
Remember~ Observations are facts made using the 5 senses. Inferences are conclusions that you think happened based on your observation. It is important to not make opinions when making observations and even inferences.
Tomorrow we will get more practice in observations with a visit from Mr. Potatohead!

Science skills
Oops! I forgot to post this before I left.
Observations and inferences are a huge part of a scientific investigation. We did some practice on differentiating between the two.
We also looked at how to write a good hypothesis. For homework countine working on the practice sheet that we started in class. Try your best to complete the problems. Remember that a good hypothesis should state the IV, the DV and a reason why you think the DV will respond.
The quiz scheduled for Friday has been moved. Pd1 Monday and Pds 2,4,5 Tuesday.
