An observation is what you actually see happening.
An inference is the conclusions you draw from that observation.
To use an 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"
Inference is a logical interpretation. Observation is using your senses.

Observation and inference are the same thing
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.
An observation is something you notice using your five senses, such as color, shape, or size. An inference is a conclusion you make based on observations and prior knowledge, but it may not be directly observed.
I think An observation about that inference is about that object.
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.
observation is observation! :)inference is inference! :)Assuming you meant "Differentiate observation from inference ?" !....Observation is the act of being able to physically see an object - inference is implying something is real without physical proof of its existence.Incidentally - why was this put into the category 'animal life' !
An observation is something you can actually see, for example, bubbles during a reaction. However, an inference is the meaning you take from an observation, for example, you may infer that hydrogen was produced if you observed bubbles.
