It all starts with Observations! The Observe and Infer poster is a foundational graphic framework designed to develop students' critical observation skills, which is a key aspect of the ENGAGE philosophy. This tool, which often uses two different colours of sticky notes, teaches students to distinguish systematically between direct sensory observations and the inferences or assumptions they make based on those observations, thereby cultivating a richer and more detailed understanding of the world. This organizer supports the careful collection of evidence and helps students acknowledge biases before defining a problem, making it essential for inquiry-based learning and informing effective decision-making.
Observe and Infer is often combined with the Wonder and Fishbone diagrams for student-centred experimental design projects. See our 3-in-1 Experimental Design poster if you want all three organizers on a single sheet.
Observe and Infer is also used with the P.E.O.E. (predict explain observe explain) organizer for more teacher-driven investigations. See our 2-in-1 PEOE poster if you prefer the two organizers on a single sheet.
