PLZ! PLZ! PLZ! HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Scientific Claim Engaging in scientific argument is a critical piece to the application of science and engineering and is necessary to solve a societal problem. Scientific argument is based on evidence and reasoning that leads to explanations. A scientific argument consists of three key pieces: Claim: a conclusion about a problem Evidence: scientific data that is appropriate and sufficient to support the claim. • Reasoning: a justification that shows why the data or information counts as evidence to support the claim and includes appropriate scientific principles 1. What is the claim made by the Big Bang theory regarding the creation of the universe? 2. What are three crucial pieces of evidence that support the claim for the Big Bang theory. Include a piece of evidence that relates each of the following: a. Light spectra b. Motion of distant galaxies c. Composition of matter in the universe 3. Explain how or why each piece of evidence supports the claim made in Big Bang theory.

1The 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)

Argumentation is a process for reaching agreements about explanations and design solutions. In science, reasoning and argument based on evidence are essential in identifying the best explanation for a natural phenomenon. In engineering, reasoning and argument are needed to identify the best solution to a design problem. Student engagement in scientific argumentation is critical if students are to understand the culture in which scientists live, and how to apply science and engineering for the benefit of society. As such, argument is a process based on evidence and reasoning that leads to explanations acceptable by the scientific community and design solutions acceptable by the engineering community.

Argument in science goes beyond reaching agreements in explanations and design solutions. Whether investigating a phenomenon, testing a design, or constructing a model to provide a mechanism for an explanation, 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.

Compare and critique two arguments on the same topic and analyze whether they emphasize similar or different evidence and/or interpretations of facts.

Respectfully provide and receive critiques about one’s explanations, procedures, models and questions by citing relevant evidence and posing and responding to questions that elicit pertinent elaboration and detail.

Construct, use, and/or present an oral and written argument supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem.

Make an oral or written argument that supports or refutes the advertised performance of a device, process, or system, based on empirical evidence concerning whether or not the technology meets relevant criteria and constraints.

Evaluate competing design solutions based on jointly developed and agreed-upon design criteria.
