Next Generation Science Standards include "Engaging in Argument from Evidence". Argument is the process by which evidence-based conclusions and solutions are reached. In science and engineering, reasoning and argument based evidence are essential to identifying the best explanation for a natural phenomenon or the best solution to a design problem. Scientists and engineers use argumentation to listen to, compare, and evaluate competing ideas and methods based on merits. Scientists and engineers engage in argumentation when investigating a phenomenon, testing a design solution, resolving questions about measurements, building data models, and using evidence to evaluate claims.
