Inferring is the science process skill that involves developing explanations based on observations. When scientists infer, they use the data and evidence they have gathered through observation to make logical conclusions about what they cannot directly observe. For example, if a scientist observes that a plant's leaves are wilted, they might infer that the plant needs water. This skill helps scientists to build hypotheses and theories that explain natural phenomena, making sense of the data they collect and providing a basis for further experimentation and study.
