Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS Argument - a process for reaching agreements about explanations or solutions Claim - an answer to a scientific question Evidence - anything presented to support a claim Question - a sentence that asks for information Reasoning - the action of thinking about something in a logical way Reliable - consistently good in quality Sufficiency - having enough evidence to make a claim Valid - having a sound basis in logic This progression is based on the Science and Engineering Practices elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Construct an oral and written argument supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem” Source: https://www.nextgenscience.org/
