Argumentation about Energy in Elementary School, from Evidence and from Models
Two key practices in the United States’ Next Generation Science Standards are “developing and using models” and “engaging in argument from evidence.” Although researchers have long recognized that scientific argumentation can and usually does involve claims grounded in models as well as those based directly on evidence, the NGSS framing, and much literature on argumentation, seem to prioritize – often almost exclusively – the role of empirical ev…
Telling the energy story
We describe the development, design, implementation, and preliminary classroom results of an innovative curriculum, Focus on Energy , that supports learning about energy in Grades 4–5. The curriculum is grounded in the concepts of science as practice, model‐based reasoning, and learning progressions, and builds on students' pre‐existing ideas and resources. We illustrate how students gradually develop the ability to track energy forms, transfers,…
