Jefferson Township Public Schools Science Department The study of science and engineering should produce a sense of the process of argument necessary for advancing and defending a new idea or an explanation of a phenomenon and the norms for conducting such arguments. In that spirit, students should argue for the explanations they construct, defend their interpretations of the associated data, and advocate for the designs they propose. (NRC Framework, 2012, p. 73) 9/14/2021 NGSS PD Session #6: Argument 3

Jefferson Township Public Schools Science Department • Students are expected to use argumentation to listen to, compare, and evaluate competing ideas and methods based on their merits. • Scientists and engineers engage in argumentation when investigating a phenomenon, testing a design solution, resolving questions about measurements, building data models, and using evidence to evaluate claims. 9/14/2021 NGSS PD Session #6: Argument 4
