Your role
You're the scientist (in this game).
Your goal
Sort each sentence: observation, inference or opinion.
What you know
- An observation is something you can see, count or measure. An inference is an explanation you build from observations.
Limits
- The report may only state inferences as possibilities.
Success looks like
- Observations — You kept the hard facts.
- Inferences — You spotted the explanations.
- Opinions — You kept tastes out of the data.
Skills you used
- Logical thinking — Following steps and rules precisely.
- Clear explaining — Making ideas easy to understand.
In real life
Field scientists keep notebooks where raw observations (date, time, place, counts) are written separately from interpretations, so others can check the data later. Citizen-science bird counts work the same way.
