Information
Description
What It Is:
A clean and structured Claim–Evidence–Reasoning (CER) writing graphic organizer that helps students break down their scientific explanations into three clear sections. Students write the question, form a claim, support it with evidence, and explain their reasoning—all on one easy-to-use page.
Why Use It:
This organizer builds strong NGSS-aligned science writing skills by helping students clearly distinguish between a claim, the evidence that supports it, and the reasoning that connects the two. It promotes deeper understanding, logical thinking, and well-structured scientific explanations.
How to Use It:
• Provide students with a scientific question to investigate.
• Have them write a clear, direct claim that answers the question.
• Encourage them to include accurate scientific data or observations as evidence.
• Guide students to explain why their evidence supports the claim using correct science concepts.
• Use for lab reports, experiments, science discussions, or exit tickets.
Grade Suitability:
Best for Grades 7-10.
• Works well for NGSS-aligned lessons.
• Ideal for science writing practice, assessments, and lab reflections.
Target Users:
Perfect for science teachers, tutors, and homeschool educators who want students to build strong CER writing habits and improve scientific reasoning.
