Observations & Inferences
We are constantly making observations and inferences. We do this both consciously and unconsciously.
We are constantly making observations of the world around us.
Observations & Inferences
Observation: The act, practice, or power of
noticing.
We use our senses (sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing) to make our observations.
Observations & Inferences
There are two main types of observations:1. Quantitative observations
An observation in the form of a quantity.ex: The desk is 1 meter tall.
2. Qualitative observations A quality or characteristic of a given object or
event.ex: The sky is blue.
Our brains are constantly trying to make sense of our observations.
Observations & Inferences
Inference: The act of making conclusions or
making sense of your observations.
Our brains are constantly making inferences about the world around us.
