Description
Introducing our Measuring Mass Scientific Argumentation CER Set - a comprehensive and engaging resource for science teachers looking for an accessible and interactive way to teach middle school students about mass, ways to measure it, what it means, and its many applications and related concepts. Explore SEVEN different claims related to mass, including mass vs. weight, tools, techniques, and units for measuring mass, the importance of taring a scale, the relationship between mass and volume, and using known masses to determine unknown masses. With evidence-based arguments and real-life examples, this set provides a fun and effective way to teach students about this important topic. Here's what's included:
⫸ Our CER guide includes -SIX- measuring mass prompts, each complete with thought-provoking claims and examples that challenge students to use what they've learned about mass to support or refute claims. Our graphic organizers also help students through the research process and argument writing.
⫸ For your visual learners and students who need a little extra support, our CER & Scientific Argumentation visual notes/posters provide students with helpful tips and strategies to use throughout the research and writing process, including sentence starters and a text annotation guide. These handy tools can be used for any CER students write in the future (I keep mine in plastic sheet protectors!).
⫸ Our set also includes a glossary, student-friendly website list, and a set of three visually engaging mass and density reference posters, which can be used throughout the unit to support learning. A collection of triple beam balance virtual simulators is also included to help students prep for using a real scale.
⫸ Our peer and self-assessment form extension provides students with the opportunity to evaluate their own work and their peers' work. This allows them to develop a better understanding of what makes a strong argument and how to construct effective scientific explanations.
⫸ Assess your students using our trio of CER rubrics. At Level 1, students can demonstrate a basic CER without citations (included posters help them move beyond this level). At Level 2, students are expected to cite and credit sources. At Level 3, students are challenged to identify and clarify potential misconceptions related to the topic as a modified counterclaim.
⫸ Our Measuring Mass Scientific Argumentation CER Set is a comprehensive and engaging resource that supports higher-level thinking, research, discussion, and writing skills in science.
Whether you're looking to provide your students with a deep and nuanced understanding of mass or support interdisciplinary projects, our CER set is the perfect tool for your classroom. It's easy to navigate, full of customization options, and provides multiple entry points for teaching students about mass and its many applications in an accessible way.
