Description
What It Is:
This is a CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) checklist worksheet. It provides a series of questions to guide students in constructing well-supported scientific arguments. The checklist is divided into three sections: Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning. Each section lists specific criteria for evaluating the quality and completeness of each component of the CER framework, with checkboxes for students to mark. For example, under 'Claim,' it asks 'Does the claim answer the question?' and 'Is the claim a complete sentence?'.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-12. It can be used in middle school to introduce the CER framework and in high school to reinforce and refine students' ability to construct strong scientific arguments. The complexity of the questions makes it appropriate for a range of science education levels.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students learn and apply the CER framework. It promotes critical thinking and analytical skills by guiding students to evaluate the quality of their claims, evidence, and reasoning. It also supports the development of clear and logical scientific writing by providing specific criteria for each component.
How to Use It:
Students should use this checklist while writing or reviewing their CER arguments. For each question in the checklist, students should evaluate their work and mark the checkbox if the criterion is met. The checklist can be used for self-assessment, peer review, or teacher evaluation. Students can use the checklist to identify areas for improvement in their CER arguments.
Target Users:
This worksheet is designed for science students in middle and high school. It is also useful for science teachers who are teaching the CER framework and want to provide students with a structured tool for self-assessment and improvement. It can be used by homeschool educators to guide science instruction.
