  9. Science Skills

  10. Observing • Using one or more of your senses to gather information • Quantitative Observation • dealing with an amount • Qualitative Observation • descriptions of characteristics

  11. Write down 6 observations3 quantitative3 qualitative

  12. Types of Guesses

  13. Inferring • Explanation of the things you observe • What is happening? Why has it happened? • A guess or attempted explanation about what is happening or what has already happened • Based on observations or prior knowledge • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BXQ0H6yNKA&list=PLE9EAx4VvYnTSEnw6owDVXlYut-xft-oc

  14. What can you infer?

  15. Predicting • Making a claim about what will happen in the future based on past experience or evidence • What will happen next? • Predictions vs. Inferences • Inferring: what is happening or has happened • Predicting: what will happen or is going to happen

  16. Quiz time! Go to the back of the room silently, and take an iRespond controller.

  17. Data Analysis • Data – information • Facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observations

  18. Classifying • Grouping things together that are alike in some way • Organizing! • Size, shape, color, behavior.... • http://www.iteachwithtechnology.com/2011/01/sorting-and-classifying-objects.html

  19. Evaluating • Comparing observations and collected data to reach a conclusion using mathematical expressions

  20. Making Models • Visual representations of complex objects or data • Maps, graphs, charts • Easier to understand

  21. Homework • Answer “Assess Your Understanding” Questions on page 9 in your textbook.
