Making InferencesMaking Inferences

Using the information given to draw early conclusion and explain events

State one inference based on your observation

A B Observation : Chicken B is bigger than chicken AInference : Chicken B gets more food than chicken A

Imformations from inference

Inference : Manipulate Variable

Inference : Chicken B gets more food than chicken A

MV : Quantity of food

Example :

A: Animal

Inferences.

1. More food/less food

• More water/less water

Other Inferences

1. Genetic

2. Disease(The Disease harms the animal)

3. Habitat(pollute/not

4. Air(polluted/clean)

5. Temperature(high/low)

How to use information to write inference

ObservationObservation• Observation involves the use of our

senses to identify and describe an object’s properties

e.g. it looks….,it smells…., it tastes…,it feels…,it sounds….

The various ways to find variablesThe various ways to find variables

• Variables

• MV

• RV

• CV

Naming the manipulated variable,responding variable and all the variables to be held constant

What to keep the same-constant

What to change- manipulated variable

What to measure –responding variable

Manipulated Variable

Different object,numbers.

State the characteristic-The number,The Size,The height,The weight

Remember:

Responding variable

-The result of investigation

What is the result of investigation ?

Temperature/Time of heated/The brightness….

What is the effect of investigation while number/object is change.

1. Based on diagram.

a. Constant variable: similar

What are the similar characteristics in the picture?

animal. location. hole.

what characteristics that are similar ?

A type of ? The size ? The number ?

b. : Manipulated variable- Something that different

What are the differences in the picture?

Day/night Dark / Bright cold / hot

what characteristics that are different?

( Time,weather,temperature,condition)

c. Responding Variable: The result of investigation

Animals in the hole. Animals outside the hole

( Movement /location of animals.)
