Observation and inference activity. Modified from an old cmscdsquires presentation. Is used in class for as many slides as needed. Can be used over time to have a greater impact. In our case, our classes are taken outside for 7 stations in the environmental center after doing 5-8 slides and the other slides are used over time as a follow up.

Students often have trouble understanding the difference between observations and inferences. This presentation starts by going over definitions of each term, as well as, the differences between quantitative and qualitative observations. The goal is for students to understand that observations are data, which is used to create inferences (preliminary conclusions) and evidence is when you use the data to support your inferences. A final point is made that inferences are preliminary conclusions, thus inferences can not be seen. The remainder of the presentation gives multiple photos for students to practice making inferences from data. This learning program is geared to K-12 students, but can also be used for introductory college courses in multiple subjects.

This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
