Standard: Show Content Tip
6a Differentiate observation from inference (interpretation) and know scientists' explanations come partly from what they observe and partly from how they interpret their observations.


Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Teacher's Editions cite many activities as meeting this standard that do not address this standard.

Aspects that help student learning:
Pages 51, 147, 275, 315, 341 and 353 provide moderate coverage of this standard and address science content at this grade level.


Aspects that do not help student learning:
Directions ask for "inferences," but they are often not based on observations, or not easily inferred from observation. Alternatively, the "inference" questions are leading and require very little thinking.
