Module Wrap-Up

Teach students to write a CER as a class prior to having them create their own. Using the Doritos Dog Commercial can be a fun way to introduce the CER. Have students watch the commercial and make a claim together as a class. Then have them list evidence to support their claim with a partner and share evidence with the class. Last, help them write reasons to connect their evidence to their claim. Revisit the Phenomena: What tools and skills do physicist use? Students complete a CER using evidence from their learning in the module.
