Building Claims from Evidence

---

Beskrivning

This lesson plan introduces students to the process of constructing scientific explanations and engaging in argumentation from evidence. Students observe a series of photographs, record qualitative and quantitative observations, and use these observations as evidence to support claims. The activity emphasizes the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) framework, guiding students to make claims, support them with appropriate evidence, and connect the evidence to the claims through logical reasoning. This foundational skill is essential for scientific literacy and critical thinking, enabling students to understand and participate in scientific discussions. The lesson aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) practices and includes materials such as an observation sheet and a CER rubric to facilitate implementation.
