Support a Claim with Evidence
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: connecting a conclusion to recorded observations
1
A test record says: paper clip attracted, wooden stick not attracted, plastic block not attracted. Write one claim about these objects.
2
Copy the recorded result that best supports your claim.
3
Would 'all objects are attracted' fit the record? Explain.
4
A second record says: ice in shade melted in 25 minutes; equal ice in sun melted in 12 minutes. Which melted sooner in this test?
5
Use both times as evidence for your answer.
6
Finish: My claim is ___. The evidence is ___. One thing this test does not tell me is ___.
- Read each result as given, without introducing extra observations.
- Help the learner use wording such as 'in this test'.
- Ask whether the chosen evidence directly supports the claim.
