● Cite specifc textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account. ● Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paraphrasing them in simpler but still accurate terms. ● Write arguments focused on discipline - specifc content. ● Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. ● Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of fndings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest.

MATH CONNECTIONS

● Reason abstractly and quantitatively. ● Model with mathematics.

● Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. ● Defne appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling. ● Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.

Phenomena Introduction

Show this youtube video about sinkholes and do a CER to answer the question: What causes sinkholes to form? Have students fll out an initial CER then answer the question. Explain that they will have many opportunities to revisit this CER as they learn more. (Optional: Can tell them they can use CER on the test so to be thorough.)
