Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a scientific writing worksheet focusing on the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) framework. It provides designated spaces for students to write their claim (answer to the question), provide evidence (relevant observations) in two separate boxes, and explain their reasoning (connect evidence to claim). The worksheet also includes spaces for the student's name, period, and date.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-10. It is designed to help students develop their scientific writing skills and can be adapted to different science topics and complexity levels within those grades. The CER framework is a standard scientific practice introduced in middle school and reinforced throughout high school.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students organize their thoughts and write scientifically sound arguments. It encourages critical thinking by requiring students to support their claims with evidence and logical reasoning. It reinforces the connection between observations, data, and conclusions.
How to Use It:
First, present students with a scientific question or problem. Students should then use the worksheet to write their claim (answer to the question) in the provided box. Next, they should fill in the two evidence boxes with relevant observations or data. Finally, they should use the reasoning box to explain how their evidence supports their claim.
Target Users:
The target users are middle and high school students learning about the scientific method and scientific writing. It is particularly useful for science teachers who want to help their students develop strong argumentation skills.
