Making Inferences
Using the information given to

draw early conclusion and
explain events
State one inference based on your
observation
A B
Observation : Chicken B is bigger than chicken
A
Inference : Chicken B gets more food than
chicken A
Imformations from inference
Inference : Manipulate Variable
Example :
Inference : Chicken B gets more food than

chicken A
MV : Quantity of food
How to use information to write
inference
A: Animal
Inferences.
1. More food/less food

• More water/less water
Other Inferences
1. Genetic
2. Disease(The Disease harms the animal)
3. Habitat(pollute/not
