Session Objectives

By the end of this session participants will…

– Explore the elements associated with engaging in argument from evidence.

– Engage in activities that apply the Claims-Evidence-Reasoning model and Science Writing Heuristic.

– Link activities to Professional Teaching Standards, NC Science Essential Standards, Common Core Literacy Standards, A Framework for K-12 Science Education, and NC’s Home Base resources.

Introductions

• Name• Role• What you hope

to gain from today’s session

How was your weekend?

• How would you describe your weekend?

• Explain, citing evidence to support your claim about how you describe your weekend.

Claims, Evidence, Reasoning

Complete

Sections 1 & 2 of the SWH template:

1. My Question:

2. My Beginning Understanding:

Making a Probe CONCRETE

Activity:• Use the materials at your

table to conduct an experiment.

• Record your procedure and test results.

Making a Probe CONCRETE

Activity (cont’d):

Reference Handout #1 to • Write a claim regarding the

effect of holes on floating.• Provide an explanation to

support your claim with evidence and reasoning.

Sharing and Comparing Results

2 Stay and the Rest Stray Activity:

1. Two members of your team stay at your table to review “external sources”.

2. The rest of the team moves to collaborate with other class members “internal sources”.

3. Record your findings in Section 7 of the SWH template.

4. Return to your table and share your findings with your group and recording their findings.

What is SWH

• Science Writing Heuristic• Guided inquiry• Writing to learn strategy• Used to promote

collaboration, learning, critical thinking skills, communication, & problem solving

Why SWH? NRC says:

• Students need to investigate• Students need to gain

evidence for their claims• Students need to compare

their findings to those of peers, others

• Students need to communicate and defend their findings

What students DO when using SWH …

• Design and carry out labs based on their questions

• Make claims based on evidence• Share what they learned with

peers• Compare their findings to those

of the scientific community• Reflect on their experiences• Apply new ways of

understanding

Cl-Ev-R & Science Essential Standards

How can Cl-Ev-R be used to teach the North Carolina Science Essential Standards?

NC Professional Teaching Standards (NCPTS)

How does the Cl-Ev-R model help educators address the NCPTS?

How does the Cl-Ev-R model help educators use Home Base more effectively?

PLCs

How does the Cl-Ev-R model help educators answer the 4 critical questions?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

How does the Cl-Ev-R model help educators utilize UDL?

Implementing SWH

How does the Cl-Ev-R model help educators connect Science & Engineering Practices, CC Math Practices and CC Literacy Standards?
