Observation
The picture below looks like a mans car broke down
Another thing I notice is that he is near no civilization

Inferences
The man is sitting down hoping for help to arrive
He seems to live in a farming area.

Observation
I notice that there is a lot of people in line
I also notice that the area that there in, looks packed

Inferences
I think the person in the back will not be able to reach the bus
Or
The bus is dropping off people and going to another bus

Observation
I notice that kids are running to there school
I also notice that there is a group of kids running

Inferences
I think the kids will be late for class or
Just BARELY make it.

Conclusion
What I have learned about observations and inferences Is that conclusions are what you see in the picture and inferences is what you think is gonna happen in the picture
