Learning Element Performance Indicators (By Grade Band) K-2 3-5 6-8 9-12 SCI.SEP7.A: Argue from Evidence SCI.SEP7.A.K-2 Students compare ideas and representations about the natural and designed world. This includes the following: Identify arguments that are supported by evidence. Distinguish between explanations that account for all gathered evidence and those that do not. SCI.SEP7.A.3-5 Students critique the scientific explanations or solutions proposed by peers by citing relevant evidence about the natural and designed world. This includes the following: Compare and refine arguments based on an evaluation of the evidence presented. SCI.SEP7.A.m Students construct a convincing argument that supports or refutes claims for either explanations or solutions about the natural and designed world. This includes the following. Compare and critique two arguments on the same topic. Analyze whether they emphasize similar or different evidence and interpretations of facts. SCI.SEP7.A.h Students use appropriate and sufficient evidence and scientific reasoning to defend and critique claims and explanations about the natural and designed world. Arguments may also come from current scientific or historical episodes in science. This includes the following: Compare and evaluate competing arguments or design
