Description
“
Students learn how a toxic gas, hydrogen cyanide, used in chemical weapons today may have been involved in the birth of life on Earth through a C.E.R. (Claim Evidence Reasoning) graphic organizer. This is great for getting your students to explain phenomena in a meaningful way and it allows you as the instructor to adequately assess their understanding of concepts. The students figure out what the “Claim” is in the article, they then use data that supports the claim in the “Evidence” section, draw visual evidence and then explain why the evidence supports the claim in the “Reasoning” section.
The article has the following concepts:
Evolution
Earth’s Formation
Simple and Complex Molecules
Biomolecules
Precursors for life
RNA
DNA
Proteins
Chemical Reactions
Moon Collision
Take a look at my CER Mega bundle!
This is great for a current event, sub plan, homework, critical thinking, scaffolding and/or reinforcement of concepts!
You get a CER graphic organizer, an editable key, the article, tips for CER, a link to make it Google Ready, and the link to the website in the article.
NGSS Standards:
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
LS1.C: Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms
As matter and energy flow through different organizational levels of living systems, chemical elements are recombined in different ways to form different products. (HS-LS1-6)
The sugar molecules thus formed contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen: their hydrocarbon backbones are used to make amino acids and other carbon-based molecules that can be assembled into larger molecules (such as proteins or DNA), used for example to form new cells. (HS-LS1-6)
LS4.A: Evidence of Common Ancestry and Diversity
The collection of fossils and their placement in chronological order (e.g., through the location of the sedimentary layers in which they are found or through radioactive dating) is known as the fossil record. It documents the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of many life forms throughout the history of life on Earth. (MS-LS4-1)
SEP’s Asking Questions and Defining Problem:
Students at any grade level should be able to ask questions of each other about the texts they read, the features of the phenomena they observe, and the conclusions they draw from their models or scientific investigations.
Engaging in Argument from Evidence:
In 9–12 builds on K–8 experiences and progresses to using appropriate and sufficient evidence and scientific reasoning to defend and critique claims and explanations about the natural and designed world(s). Arguments may also come from current scientific or historical episodes in science.
CCC1: Patterns
Observed patterns of forms and events guide organization and classification, and they prompt questions about relationships and the factors that influence them.
Systems and System Models
Models (e.g., physical, mathematical, computer models) can be used to simulate systems and interactions—including energy, matter, and information flows—within and between systems at different scales. (HS-LS2-5)
Energy and Matter
Changes of energy and matter in a system can be described in terms of energy and matter flows into, out of, and within that system. (HS-LS1-5), (HS-LS1-6)
Energy cannot be created or destroyed—it only moves between one place and another place, between objects and/or fields, or between systems. (HS-LS1-7), (HS-LS2-4)
Energy drives the cycling of matter within and between systems. (HS-LS2-3)
