Inferences and Predictions Assessment

This video tutorial explains the differences and similarities between inferences and predictions. It provides definitions, examples, and practice exercises for both concepts. Inferences are used to explain past or present events based on observations, while predictions forecast future events. The video encourages students to assess their understanding and improve their skills through practice.

How do inferences differ from predictions?

• Inferences are based on feelings, predictions are based on facts

How does life experience affect our ability to make inferences and predictions?

• It makes us worse at making inferences and predictions

• It only affects predictions, not inferences

• It makes no difference

• It improves our ability to make inferences and predictions

What prediction can be made from a picture with a white ball in the air and a girl's position?
