Bell Work- Start a new page, and answer this in your
notebook. Look at this picture. In your science notebook, write a one
paragraph story that explains how this picture came to be. Use the facts you see in the picture to help write your story.

In your science notebook, answer
these questions: How did your story differ from the true
story?
Did you use only FACTS in your story or did you make some assumptions?

Do Now: Use a yellow highlighter to go back through
your paragraph. Highlight the FACTS that you used in your paragraph. What is a fact?

Experiment Time! You are going to visit four stations and try to
identify what is in the mystery bag. Here is the catch: YOU CANNOT OPEN THE BAG! What ways can you identify what is in the bag?

Line of Learning Draw in your line of learning. Think
about these questions, then answer it.
What is the difference between and observation and an inference?
Were you making observations in the lab just now, inferences, or both?

Observation Describing something using your
five senses. Another word for a fact. You can not dispute an
observation. It is true. Examples:
The sky is blue. It is sunny out. The item in container 3 weighed
5 grams.

Inference A judgment using prior
knowledge that explains an observation.
Could be called an opinion. Not always true! Examples:
I saw Jake yawn; therefore, he is tired
It is sunny, so it must be hot outside.
Object 3 rolled, so it must be a bouncy ball.

Do Now: Go back to the paragraph you wrote about the airplane. Look
at what you thought were “facts.” Are those really facts, or are they inferences?
Make a T-Chart in your notes and record your observations and inferences from your story!

Homework Make another T-Chart in your notes. Tonight, when
you go home make 5 observations and 5 inferences about your home.
Due tomorrow!
