They do not use numbers; uses the senses to describe
reasonable (logical) or unreasonable
conclude TOO much from the evidence
to make sure the inference is reasonable and based on accurate evidence
Make a hypothesis
Include the use of numbers; use standard units to measure; often made using tools
more than one logical inferences from the same observation
no
explaining or interpreting an observation or statement
Information gathered from observations
one that makes sense, given what a person knows about the topic
Qualitative of Quantitative
accurate and objective
Conduct an experiment
Using one or more of your senses to gather information about the world
obtain additional evidence to find out whether the inference is correct
A logical inference must make sense in terms of everything else you know.
observations followed by attempted explanations
It avoid opinions, or bias, based on specific points of view

A question/problem
an exact report of what your senses tell you
sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch
Draw conclusions
Whether it's true or false
