Information
Description
What It Is:
This is an educational worksheet focused on developing critical thinking skills using the 'Claim, Evidence, Reasoning' (CER) framework. The worksheet is divided into three sections: 'What do I know?', 'How do I know it?', and 'How does the evidence support my claim?'. Each section contains prompts and fill-in-the-blank questions designed to guide students in formulating claims, identifying evidence, and providing logical reasoning to support their arguments. The worksheet encourages students to record observations, comparisons, and the effects of variables.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-9. The concepts of claim, evidence, and reasoning are foundational for middle school science and language arts curricula. The structured prompts and sentence starters provide support for students who are learning to construct well-reasoned arguments.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students to develop critical thinking, analytical, and writing skills. It provides a structured approach to constructing arguments based on evidence. Using the CER framework, students learn to connect their observations to logical reasoning and build a strong case for their claims. It promotes deeper understanding and better retention of information.
How to Use It:
First, introduce the concept of Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning. Next, present a topic or experiment for students to analyze. Students should then work through each section of the worksheet, filling in the blanks with their observations, data, and reasoning. Encourage students to use specific examples and details to support their claims. The worksheet can be used individually, in pairs, or as a whole-class activity.
Target Users:
The target users are middle school students (grades 6-9), science teachers, language arts teachers, and homeschooling parents. It's beneficial for students who need support in developing critical thinking and argumentation skills. It can also be used as a tool for assessing student understanding of scientific concepts and their ability to apply the CER framework.
