Today’s Agenda:

Positive Reaction - Identifying What we Made check in

Complete CER1 Step 4 and 5 and submit.

Step 4: Evidence C:

What evidence have you discovered to explain the arrangement of atoms during a chemical change?

Step 5 Revise your claim and explain your reasoning

  • Review all your evidence and consider your original claim. 

  • Write a revised claim that fits all of your evidence.

  • Claim: A solid formed when two liquids were combined because…

    • (Your final claim should demonstrate what you learned.)

Explain your reasoning to back up your claim.

  • How do you know your claim is true?

Your final grade for this activity will be based on your response to this last step, so take some time with this.
