Summary: Learners formulate explanations from evidence to address scientifically oriented questions.
Focus: The path from evidence to explanation.
Scientific explanations based on evidence and logical argument.
Explanations go beyond current knowledge, by building on it to create new understanding.
What would this look like in the classroom?
-Students learn to tell the different between evidence & inference as the teacher asks deeper questions.
-Observed and/or measured data are evidence. Students use science notebooks to record observations.
-Looking at real evidence drives investigation and then solutions/conclusions.
Examples from video:
Evidence-observed phases of the moon. Explanation-none discussed in this lesson
Question-What causes craters? Evidence-Experiment with activity & look at/record results Explanation-may have been final discussion after activity.
