Description
What It Is:
This is an educational worksheet titled 'Identifying Claims and Evidence.' It prompts students to define what a claim and evidence are, and what they are not. It asks students to explain the purpose of evidence. It then presents the statement 'Most vitamins cannot be synthesized by the human body' and asks students to identify if it is a claim or evidence, and to explain their reasoning. Finally, students are asked to provide a supporting claim or piece of evidence based on their initial identification of the statement.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-8. The concepts of claims and evidence are typically introduced in middle school as part of argumentative writing and critical thinking skills. The complexity of analyzing a scientific statement like the one provided is appropriate for this age range.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students develop critical thinking skills by differentiating between claims and evidence. It reinforces the understanding of the purpose of evidence in supporting an argument. It also encourages students to provide reasoning for their answers and to formulate their own claims or supporting evidence, promoting deeper comprehension of the concepts.
How to Use It:
First, have students fill in the definitions of 'claim' and 'evidence.' Next, guide them to determine whether the statement about vitamins is a claim or evidence. Then, have them explain their reasoning. Finally, depending on their initial identification, instruct them to write a corresponding claim or piece of evidence.
Target Users:
This worksheet is beneficial for middle school students learning about argumentative writing, critical thinking, and scientific reasoning. It is also suitable for teachers looking for resources to teach and reinforce the concepts of claims and evidence.
