Race to CER [CER Rubric, White Board, and Sentence Starters Image]

Help students write scientific explanation summaries and support their claims with evidence and reasoning (CER) using a CER whiteboard template. Rubric attached for success criteria.

This is a graphic organizer for scientific explanations (aligned with NGSS standard) and rubric for grading. NGSS focuses on students being able to analyze and interpret data to reveal patterns and relationship for relevance and evidence in supporting a claim. Students must then use the data to construct explanations and engage in argument for their interpretation of data. Common Core in the science classroom is all about supporting your ideas with evidence. This is a simple graphic organizer based on the Claims, Evidence, Reasoning model. It is meant to help organize students thoughts, data, ideas, and evidence to improve their answering of a question.
