Where is the evidence? Throughout my teaching experience this is a question I have asked of my students countless times.
The goal of my ImagineIt project is to transform my students' approach to science so that they ask the question, "Where is the
evidence?" It is my hope that through this project my students will better be able to identify key features of evidence and will
become adept at knowing when and how to use evidence to support their claims, explanations, and arguments.
I want my students to live their lives as scientists and It is my hope that they will begin to habitually ask, Where is the
evidence? in their daily lives to support their science learning within and beyond the classroom. In an effort to reach this goal,
students will begin their quest for evidence as they build their understandings of water transformations through the geosphere,
hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
Goals
Students will collect and evaluate evidence and make their thinking public by constructing models, making claims, and
constructing explanations about the visible and particle level water transformations that occur within the geosphere,
atmosphere, and hydrospheres.
