Engaging in Argumentation from Evidence - Level 3 - Presenting Arguments
In this video Paul Andersen shows you how to engage in argumentation in a mini-lesson on presenting arguments.  Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides.  

TERMS
Argument - a process for reaching agreements about explanations or solutions
Claim - an answer to a scientific question
Evidence - anything presented to support a claim
Question - a sentence that asks for information
Reasoning - the action of thinking about something in a logical way
Reliable - consistently good in quality
Sufficiency - having enough evidence to make a claim
Valid - having a sound basis in logic

This progression is based on the Science and Engineering Practices elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education.  “Construct an oral and written argument supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem”
