Culminating Activity/Performance Task
On the basis of evidence gathered through multiple sources (observations, investigations, multi-media, discussions, text), students individually construct an argument supported by evidence for the probable cause of PROBLEM, including the role of other FACTORS in the process
The individual written analysis should also include: • claim (final claim after considering all evidence)
• evidence (as collected through individual and group learning experiences)
• reasoning (that conveys the scientific understandings for why this occurred)
• rebuttal (describe alternative explanations and provide counter evidence and reasoning for why other alternatives are not appropriate)
