Qualitative• Qualitative observation: (quality)

Usually made with our senses. • Color, shape, feel, taste, sound.Examples:• Olivia is wearing a blue sweater.• The lab tabletop is smooth.• The dog’s fur is shiny.

Quantitative•Quantitative observation: (quantity)

How many. Will always have a number.•Based on exact measurement.Examples:•The room is 8 meters across.•Sarah is 141-cm tall.•Sam weighs 450 Newtons.

Inferences

• Inference:• A logical interpretation of an event

that is based on observations and prior knowledge.

Making Inferences

• You are at the counter in the office to get a bus pass signed. You see a student leave the principal’s office crying and upset. We could make an inference as to why the student is upset.

• Could be in trouble (ISS, OSS, expelled)• Family problems at home (sick, accident)• Student not feeling well• Student has poor grades (failing, retention)

Observation VS Inferences

– Observation – Based on the five senses:• Sight• Smell• Touch• Taste• Hearing

– Inference – Based on prior knowledge or opinion
