This is a really fun activity to help reinforce the difference between inferences and observations. This is an excellent activity that helps students understand the scientific inquiry skills. Students have to decide if the statements are observations or inferences and then take the data that has been collected to draw a picture of a space creature.
Loved this activity! It was a great way of incorporating inferences and observations into a fun lesson!

A great activity to begin the year with! Wonderful! This wii REALLY get my students interest since there is a nasty rumor around school that I am not from this planet. Thanks so much!
This is my sixth year teaching middle school. I have taught sixth grade Earth Science and Social Studies. I enjoy creating visually interesting and creative lessons.
