There are 23 students in the classroom.
Inferences
Definitions: inferences are explanations for what you observe

The student is happy because she has an A
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
