My day at Vanandel

2. The QPOE2 Model

3. Habits of Mind Goal: Self-Direction

4. Presentation about the simulation – Claim/Evidence
Claim: My claim answers my investigation question. It tells what I learned from my investigation.
Does my claim answer my investigation question?
Evidence: My evidence is the scientific data I use to support my claim.
Does the evidence I used support my claim?

5. Reasoning
Reasoning tells why the data I used is evidence that supports my claim. Reasoning is my argument. A strong argument includes:
What I already know
How my investigation was a fair test
Science words and ideas
Ideas, evidence, and arguments of other people.

6. Claims + Evidence + Reasoning
= Explanation
This is an introduction to scientific reasoning

7. Claim: My Father is an Alien
Jeff Rohr, a fifth grade teacher in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, suggests using the following Audi commercial to introduce students to the components of an explanation by asking them to identify the claim, the evidence, and the reasoning – or rule – that connects the evidence to the little girl's claim that her dad is a space alien.

8. CER Graphic
This is how we explain things in science. We don’t always have the opportunity to perform experiments. For example, Plate Tectonics…..we can’t just crash continents into one another.

9. Claim My dad is an alien Air is matter The velocity is constant
A claim answers the question or problem. It states what you (think) you know.
My dad is an alien
Air is matter
The velocity is constant
A claim that answers the question
Evidence from students' data
Reasoning that involves a "rule" or scientific principle that describes why the evidence supports the claim

10. Evidence
Evidence states how you know your claim. Evidence comes from (Qualitative, Quantitative) observations.
He has a spaceship
An inflated ball weighs more than a “flat” ball.
It covers the same distance in the same time.

11. Evidence For Alien He speaks a weird language He drinks green stuff
He says he’s from Albuquerque
Just look at him…..
He has a space ship.

12. Reasoning Explain how your evidence supports your claim.
Aliens fly spaceships
Air has weight (mass), a property of matter.
Objects traveling the same speed cover the same distance in the same time.

14. Learning about collecting data
Qualitative Observations:
Data I collect using by five senses (feeling, seeing, hearing, smelling, or tasting). I check with my teacher about tasting.
Record by writing descriptions, making sketches, taking photos, using video/audio, samples
Quantitative Observations:
Data I collect by taking measurements and by counting. Recorded using numbers. Need to be labeled.
