Transcription de la présentation

  1. Observations vs. Inferences A test of your observation skills…

  2. Observations *Use one or more of the 5 senses to gather information *A noting and recording of…. FACTS!!! *Example: There is one TV in the room.

  3. Inferences • Logical interpretation based upon prior knowledge and experience • Based upon observations • Example: When you entered the room, you most likely inferred that the individual in the front of the room is the teacher.

  4. Note the Differences • During an investigation, we record observations NOT inferences • Inferences may be used when writing the conclusion in your lab report. • Let’s test your observation skills…

  5. Take a GOOD look at this picture!

  6. Questions • Are there cars parked on the sides of the road? • What color is the pickup truck driving in the road? • Any minivans around? • What does the blue sign say? • What's the speed limit? • Are there any pedestrians on the road?

  7. Answers • Yes • Blue • Yes • Yard Sale • 35 mph • No

  24. Quantitative vs Qualitative Observations • Observations are information we collect with our senses. Observations are either quantitative or qualitative.

  25. Quantitative Observations • Observations that are quantitative are measurable. This means that they are countable. Examples of quantitative data are amounts or measurements such as: 200g, 50 meters long, 25 ml of water, or 35 degrees C.

  26. Qualitative Observations • Observations that are qualitative, are describable and not measurable. Examples of qualitative data use describing words (adjectives) such as: tastes bitter, color is bright yellow, feels smooth, or smells like vinegar.
