Is it an Observation or Inference?? Observations are things we can see... Inferences are judgements made based on our observations and what we know. media type="youtube" key="CFmj_NY5tvg" width="560" height="315" media type="youtube" key="D-5HCOUGDdg" width="560" height="315" Observation- There is a shadow in front of the lion. Inference- There is another animal checking on him. Qualitative vs Quantitative

Qualitative observation- Uses you senses. Color, smell, texture etc. Quantitative observation- Uses measurement tools for observations. Length, Mass, numbers etc. media type="youtube" key="EcKrT_IegoU" width="420" height="315"
