CER - Claim Evidence Reasoning

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the CER framework can be used to give explanations in a science classroom. In order to make a complete explanation a Claim must be supported by Evidence and Reasoning connecting the evidence to the claim.

Too many times students want to just " regurgitate" information without truly understanding what they are doing. I plan on using more of this claim, evidence, reasoning as a vehicle for students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding. Thanks again Paul for all the great resources. See you next week at STANYS.

[@mr.swaney8300]

Since I can't find anyone who took a stab at the CER for the last example, here's my attempt: Claim: During a phase change the energy goes into or comes from changing the substance into a new state of matter. Evidence: Even though the water kept getting heated the water's temperature stayed stable at around 100 degrees Celsius when the liquid water was changing into a gas. Reasoning: Since energy can't be created or destroyed (high school: Conservation of Energy), the energy given to the water as heat must go somewhere, into some form of energy for the H2O. Since the water's temperature does not continue to increase while it turns into a gas, the energy does not go into raising the water's temperature (high school: does not go into increasing its average kinetic energy). The energy must go into turning the water into steam. That is, being a gas must be a higher energy state than being a liquid. (High school: The energy must go into some sort of potential energy so that the steam has more potential energy than the liquid water does.)

I'm just getting into the habit of using Claim + Evidence, and reading your attempt here kinda gives me the right guidance. Thanks for trying it out in the open.

[@sebassifyy]

But, for the reasoning, you really didn't explain why it went through a Phase Change. You just said why a liquid changes into a gas.

[@Dysanii]

If you want a tip when taking notes from a video: Put the video in 2x speed, you can understand it all (if not put it slower) and it’s just a quicker way of taking notes. If you get good at it, you can even watch videos in 3x speed, that is if the website supports it. Hope this helps and saves everyone some time on school work!

[@stanmartin4202]

I really like your video and appreciate not only how you break down CER, but also how you apply it to increasingly interesting examples. I know that CER is not your acronym, but may I suggest an update: QERC. As we work our way through a procedure it is much easier if that procedure is written in a logical order, so that we can follow it step by step. If what we want is to have students work their way through this process, let's have them start at the beginning, by analyzing the question. Likewise, let's put answering the question off to the end of the procedure, after we have done the work. Part of what we are trying to do with the CER (QERC) process is to break the cycle of fast thinking (Daniel Kahneman) and apply evidence and reasoning before the answer. So, analyze and define the Question, gather your Evidence, apply your Reasoning skills, and finally state your Claim. QERC your way to a meaningful answer. One more thought. Students should not be doing this to score well. They should be doing this to build and communicate their understanding. Thanks for your excellent video.

[@mariabautista4609]

Hi, my school teaches us students something similar, but we use the word warrant instead of reasoning, is this the same?

[@HasinaHr]

I was thinking of the first law of thermodynamics, where variation of energy (therefore, variation of temperature) equals to added heat minus the work of the system. One obvious evidence is the variation of volume during phase change. This implies the particles are expanding, meaning they occupy more space, and therefore each particle is traveling a longer distance and thus doing more work. So according to that first law, even if temperature is added, if the system does more work, the energy doesn't vary that much, or doesn't vary at all, and the temperature won't raise.

A most excellent presentation, and how (a lotta) current "science" is falsely based upon conjecture, models (that can be tweaked to prove opinions), and absolute axiomatic words of "coulda, woulda, shoulda, can, will, therefore, then, -IF-, maybe, might, ....). Amazing that (a lotta) modern science is not built up from facts, is actually "reverse engineered" to prove opinions and hypotheticals that are then supposedly "expert based."

[@honorsenvisci2012]

I am wondering if it is a Lab more for inquiry, especially in the beginning of a lesson how would the student know the scientific principle to use in the reasoning section. For example, in the phase change, they may discover this new interesting graph, but how would they know what caused it based on their experiment that seems too sophisticated to do inside a high school classroom?

Hi Paul, great work explaining the CER framework. It was really helpful. I do have a request though, could you try to explain how Claim + Evidence works in Communication Strategy? The Strategies I'm referring to include: advocating, clarifying, investigating, making decisions, organizing, participating, planning, questioning, reflecting, repairing, and setting goals. Although I am learning about this in a Business Program, our instructor really wants us to get better at these strategies while using the CER framework. Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the good work!

4:00 Weighing balloons on a scale. I was demonstrating this to students, and it never worked consistently, often it weighed less. (gram scale to 0.1 gram) I decided maybe water vapor from my lungs, which is a gas, but with less mass than the major non- H2O components of air, so then I used a balloon pump. Same problem. Question: Have you actually done this? I think a good analogy is diving into the ocean and then trying to measure the mass of a drop of water. Then I weighed many balloons, cheap latex--typical party balloons. Very little consistency, the range was greater than any possible predicted mass change with air... "Weighing air pressure" Okay.... How much pressure is in a toy balloon? Very little. I attended a Science Teacher Professional Development, where some guy who was flown-in (to Los Angeles) and well paid, said he did this using a basketball. I wanted to shout. Roomful of science teachers, and of course the District guy who hired that guy. I went home and hung my Makita Air compressor, with a 2.5 gallon tank (about 11 liters) on a Weston Scale, (but now my precision dropped). It weighed exactly the same empty or filled to maximum pressure with 125 psi. If there was a difference it was small. (I checked for water in the tank) It never changed. [I was even more grumpy with myself because I was well aware of buoyancy inside our atmosphere.] We began to weigh boxes, assembled and full of air, and flattened. Next we put water balloons in a water tank. One of the balloons for a full week cycled between the surface and the bottom several times a day. More than a few students seem to understand using water in the tank and balloon as an analogue for air. What's a better CER for Does Air Have Mass? I have some ideas BTW from teaching: I like the CER form. These are very helpful for students, elements have their place and the boxes are very specific. I would suggest that teaching how to use them, perhaps starting with canned examples and then as daily warm-ups. The scientific method is incredibly powerful, but most people seem reluctant to learn it or use it.
