Lottero-Perdue, Pamela S.; Nealy, Jennifer; Roland, Christine; Ryan, Amy – Science and Children, 2011
Engaging elementary students in evidence-based reasoning is an essential aspect of science and engineering education. Evidence-based reasoning involves students making claims (i.e., answers to questions, or solutions to problems), providing evidence to support those claims, and articulating their reasoning to connect the evidence to the claim. In…
