am I making these claims?6.Reading - How do my ideas
compare with other ideas?7.Reflection - How have my ideas
changed?

5. Evidence--How do I know? Why am I making these claims?
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
Students may look at data in charts and graphs or reading selected text to look for evidence to support their claims.
Science Notebooks
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
To help students build conceptual knowledge, start by building common experiences.
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
Our students use these experiences to construct charts and graphs to help make meaning.
