- Engaging in Argumentation from Evidence
Engaging in Argumentation from Evidence
Audience: Grade 3-12 science teachers | Prerequisite: Previous experience using Gizmos in the classroom
About the Workshop
Engaging in Argumentation from Evidence will help teachers investigate ways to effectively infuse literacy into science lessons with Gizmos. Participants explore the use of the Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning Framework to construct scientific explanations through experimentation, data analysis, and argumentation. The instructor demonstrates lessons that use argumentation to support scientific investigations.
Participants will:
Understand how using the CER framework in the science classroom develops higher level thinking
Explore the use of key literacy skills to develop student understanding of science concepts
Learn best practices for using Gizmos to incorporate literacy and argumentation into lessons
