Fact: something that actually exists; reality/the truth
Opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge
Prediction: to state, tell about, or make known in advance, especially on the basis of special knowledge
Anology: a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification
Deduction: begins with a generalization. Predictions are made based on the generalization, and those predictions are challenged
Induction: involves gathering together a collection of bits of data - observations, experimental results, whatever kinds of information are available - and formulating a generalization which reasonably explains all of them
