EQ 29 How do we distinguish fact from opinion? Fact or Opinion? Do you know the difference? Fact A fact is a statement that can be proven true (or false) with some objective standard For example: The biology students are in Science Lab 3A. *This is a “provable” statement. It can be determined that there are people, who study biology, who are in a room that has scientific lab equipment for scientific laboratory work. The room number (3A or otherwise) can also be proven. Opinion An opinion is a statement that a person believes to be true but it cannot be measured against an objective standard For example: Science Lab 3A is too small for the biology class. Science Lab 3A is well equipped for biology classes. *The first statement depends on a number of factors, and many people may agree, but there is no “standard” for the appropriate size of a science lab. *The second statement depends on what the biology class does in the lab. Someone may think that the lab has enough materials for class, equipment or materials may be missing for other work that isn’t usually part of the class. Fact or opinion? 1.July 4 celebrates American Independence Day. 2. Mr. Lopez is a good music teacher. 3. The boiling point for water is 212° F or 100°C. 4.

You can schedule a visit to MTSU. 2.Does this statement contradict information found on this web page? MTSU does not offer public transportation for their students. Citations What information needs to be cited when doing research? Look at the handout and the 4 most common ways to cite.
