EDUC341 Chapter 11: Chapter 11
Document Summary
Chapter 11 - making and justifying claims in a science community. Arguments - making claims, using multiple forms of evidence, and responding to critiques. Statement about some event, process, or relationship in the natural world that the claim"s author believes to be true. Not a restatement of trends in data. Data becomes evidence only when it is used to support a claim. Data must be relevant and credible (so must the evidence you use to support your claim) Reason with evidence to make their point. At the end of the lesson, the teacher needs to ask students to sum up which claims seem most credible and why, as well as ask if anyone changed their minds in the process. Allow for students feedback and discussion of claims.
