Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a worksheet designed to help students practice the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) framework. It includes spaces for the student's name and class, a question prompt asking 'What question did you investigate?', areas to write a claim, provide supporting evidence (background research, observations, collected data), and explain the reasoning connecting the evidence to the claim.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-10. The concepts of claim, evidence, and reasoning are often introduced in middle school science and further developed in high school. The worksheet requires critical thinking and analytical skills appropriate for these grade levels.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students develop critical thinking skills by guiding them through the process of forming a claim, supporting it with evidence, and explaining their reasoning. It reinforces scientific thinking and argumentation skills, promoting a deeper understanding of the topic being investigated. It encourages students to connect data to conclusions.
How to Use It:
First, students should fill in their name and class. Then, they should write the question they investigated. Next, they should formulate a claim that answers the question. They will then list the evidence that supports their claim, focusing on relevant data. Finally, they need to explain how the evidence supports their claim, clarifying the connection between the data and the conclusion.
Target Users:
This worksheet is designed for students in middle school and high school science classes, particularly those learning about scientific inquiry, argumentation, and the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework. It can be used by teachers to assess student understanding and provide practice in developing these skills.
