This is the third in a series of seven web seminars that focus on the science and engineering practices found within the Next Generation Science Standards. Presenter Joe Krajcik, from Michigan State University, talks about the practice of engaging in argument from evidence. First he defines what it means to engage in argument, and then discusses the connections between this practice and the other seven practices. Dr. Krajcik offers strategies for supporting students as they engage in arguments, including modeling and scaffolding. He also explains what the practice looks in the classroom and provides examples—clarifying argumentation from explanation and making a distinction between claims, evidence, and reasoning.
