An inference is like saying: All A's = B. and all B's = C. Therefore all A's = C.
A hypothesis is just an idea that is testable and can be supported or rejected by experimental evidence.
A fact is a hypothesis that has been so thoroughly tested and accepted that it is assumed to be true.
A scientific law is a statement that shows relationship between things. Ex: The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form.
A theory is constructed from observational data to explain that data, and to be able to predict future outcomes.
Inference is a logical interpretation. Observation is using your senses.
With an observation, you simply take note of your surroundings or what you happen to notice. In an inference on the other hand, the observations are then analyzed and a conclusion is made.
An observation is when a person observes something they are studying and and inference means to draw a conclusion based on an observation.HOPE THIS HELPS :)
The hypothesis is your guess of what will happen with the experiment before you do it. Observation is watching the experiment as it is being performed and observing what is taking place.
A hypothesis is an 'educated guess' based on observation and common sense. A theory is a commonly-accepted hypothesis that has held under the pressure of testing by many different scientists.
observation is when you observe some thing inference is what you learn from your observation

Difference between observation, inference ,and prediction
An observation is looking and comprehending what you see, smell, feel, taste, or hear. An inference is making an educated guess on what you observed.
With an observation, you simply take note of your surroundings or what you happen to notice. In an inference on the other hand, the observations are then analyzed and a conclusion is made.
A hypothesis is a statement of fact or belief upon which further conclusions can be drawn. An inference is the meaning that I attribute to someone else's statement or action.
An Observation is an account of what actually happened whilst a Hypothesis is what you think will happen

An observation is what your senses tell you. An inference is what conclusion you draw as a result of the observation. For example, your observation is that when the blue litmus paper was put in the liquid it turned red. The inference is that the liquid is acidic (since that is when litmus paper turns red). We don't see that it is acidic, so that is not an observation; we just infer it from what we see.
