Community Waters Science Unit 4thgrade
Comparing solutions Community Waters Science Unit: Lesson 10
Comparing Solutions Focus Question: How effective is the solution my group modeled? Learning Target: I can make a claim about my solution and support it with evidence and reasoning.
Engineering Team Discussion & Share out Share your data with the class! In your engineering team, discuss: Do we feel that our solution successfully reduced the amount of runoff? What would be helpful for other teams to know?
Analyze Team Data How do the different results compare? Were the original models similar enough to each other? Did everybody control the same variables? Were there enough trials of each solution? In the Class Data Table: What do you notice? What does the data mean to us? What would you want to do to analyze the data?
Make a claim from evidence Write a conclusion about the solution your group modeled. Make a claim about the question "How effective is the solution my team modeled?" "How effective is the solution my team modeled?" Your claims should include: 1. the data you gathered when you tested your model. 2. other evidence from what you have read or experienced that supports your claim. 1. 1. Claim: Claim: A general statement about the effectiveness of the solution. 2. 2. Evidence: Evidence: possibilities to include o Data from your tests of the solution. o Reference to where the solution has worked elsewhere. o Site specific criteria and constrains that it meets, partially meets, or does not meet. 3. 3. Reasoning: Reasoning: The reasons why the evidence meets (or does not meet) the criteria for success and the constraints (how the evidence supports the claim).
