Description
The study of science and engineering should produce a sense of the process of argument necessary for advancing and defending a new idea or an explanation of a phenomenon and the norms for conducting such arguments. In that spirit, students should argue for the explanations they construct, defend their interpretations of the associated data, and advocate for the designs they propose (A Framework, pg 73). In this webinar, participants will gain an overview of what argumentation should look like in a science classroom, resources to support implementing this practice, and an understanding of how this practice progresses over grade bands.
