Making Inferences
READING BETWEEN THE LINES
Scientists gather evidence and evaluate observations and make conclusions about the world around us. Nobody I have known has ever touched or seen a straight up real dinosaur and no human has ever made it to Mars. Yet we know so much about the Tyrannosaurus and the possibility of finding water and life on Mars.
Scientists make inferences and so do you, like all the time!
As readers we all become detectives. As we read we are constantly using clues to figure out what the author is NOT saying.
