  1. Observations and Inferences

  2. Observations Means using one or more of your five senses to gather information. • Must be a FACT • Must be specific and accurate, so that it means the same to everyone. Example: • Incorrect: The burning bag smelled nasty • Correct: The burning bag smelled similar to rotten eggs

  3. Inference When you explain or interpret something based on what you observe. It is NOT an opinion or a guess! Example: You see a lot of students in the halls between classes wearing hats so you infer that one of the teams is having a hat day.
