An observation is what you see. An inference is the conclusion you draw from what you saw.

A common analogy;

You may be doing a chemistry experiment and when you put two substances together, the mixture bubbles and brown gas comes off. You know that brown gas indicates nitrogen dioxide gas.

The observation would be "Mixture bubbles and brown gas is given off"

The inference would be "A gas is produced, nitrogen dioxide"

Observations are things you use your "five senses" to determine - how something smells, looks, tastes, sounds, or feels.
