The Fundamentals Of Science Claims Evidence And Reasoning

The video introduces the concept of science as the study of the natural world. It sets a learning target for students to support a claim with evidence and reasoning. The teacher explains the components of a claim, evidence, and reasoning, providing examples to illustrate each. Students are tasked with creating a video making five claims about themselves, supported by evidence. The teacher demonstrates this task with personal examples, encouraging students to post their videos on Flipgrid.
