Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) template worksheet. It's divided into sections for students to formulate a question, make a claim, provide evidence, and then justify their reasoning. Each section has a visual cue: a detective with a magnifying glass for the question, a hand pointing for the claim, a magnifying glass for evidence, and a thinking head for reasoning/justification.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 4-8. The CER framework is a common structure for scientific writing and argumentation taught in these grades. The visual cues make it accessible for younger students, while the depth of analysis required is appropriate for older elementary and middle school students.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students develop critical thinking skills by organizing their thoughts in a structured way. It reinforces the scientific method by guiding students to formulate claims based on evidence and providing a logical justification for their claims. It also promotes clear and concise writing.
How to Use It:
First, provide students with a question or problem to investigate. Then, have them use the worksheet to write their claim, gather evidence to support their claim, and then explain why their evidence supports their claim in the reasoning/justification section. Encourage students to use complete sentences and provide specific details.
Target Users:
This worksheet is beneficial for elementary and middle school students learning about the scientific method and argumentative writing. It can also be used by teachers as a tool to assess students' understanding of scientific concepts and their ability to construct logical arguments.
