Constructing Explanations with Evidence - Level 4 - Revising Explanations with Evidence

In this video Paul Andersen shows you how to revise explanations with evidence in a mini-lesson on evaluating explanations with evidence. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides.

TERMS
Cause - a thing that gives rise to an event
Effect - an event
Evidence - anything presented to support a claim
Explanation - a logical reason for a phenomenon
Phenomenon - observable events in the natural world (require explanations)
Reasoning - the action of thinking about something in a logical way
Revised - changed or made alterations to
Scientific - based on the methods and principles of science
Sources - a firsthand document or primary reference work

This progression is based on the Science and Engineering Practices elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Construct and revise an explanation based on valid and reliable evidence obtained from a variety of sources and the assumption that theories and laws that describe the natural world operate today as they did in the past and will continue to do so in the future.”
