1. Group Scientific Method Activity 2. Observation Vs. Inference 3. Observation & Inference Activity 4. What is bias? Today's Schedule
Observation- is an activity of humans, consisting of receiving knowledge of the outside world through the senses, or the recording of data using scientific instruments. Inference- draws a conclusion or offers an explanation based on observations I. Observation vs. Inference
II. Observation vs. Inference 1. Write down 15 observations about this classroom. *Remember an observation can be seen, heard, felt, recorded, or smelled* 2. For each observation write down an inference. *Remember an inference is a conclusion based on observations*
III. What is bias? Bias is a state of mind when you have already decided on the issue without even knowing the full facts. You may call it prejudice or being partial. Example: I think the Cleveland Indians are the best team in Major League Baseball. They will win the World Series this year.
1. Tonight when you go home make 5 observations about your house, family, yard, or your neighbors. 2. After you have made your 5 observations, use those observations to make 5 inferences. 3. Use the same paper that you took notes on today. Homework
