"Making Inferences" worksheet featuring a story about two boys exploring and collecting specimens, with questions to test reading comprehension and inference skills.

Final Answer:
1. Specimens (like insects or small animals)
2. A small, red and black, winged critter (likely a bug or insect)
3. Because the sun came out and clouds moved away — he might have been cold or wanted to stay dry
4. Ralphie likes to explore, sticks his nose in bushes, and enjoys steak bones
5. Because summer is over — school probably starts again tomorrow

What do you think might happen next?
They might go back to exploring another day, or Petey might take care of the new pet they found.
