Brewing Up An Argument in Physical Science
This STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the differences between substances (in the solid, liquid, and gas states), and energy transfer. It is intended to last one hour. Students are encouraged to work creatively in small groups of two to four. An emphasis is placed on two aspects of the lesson:
*The target EDM product (building a free-standing thermometer to measure liquid’s temperature)
*Introduction of the C.E.R. process in science (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning that leads to making inferences and drawing conclusions)
