About this worksheet
Bring severe-weather science into your CER routine with this graphic organizer. Students study a dramatic storm scene - heavy dark clouds, lightning, driving rain, a tree bent hard by the wind - and build a full three-part CER answer to the question Is a storm coming?
Because the picture is the evidence, the reasoning is genuine: students read strong clues and conclude what is coming, rather than just naming the weather. Three labeled boxes - Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning - flow top to bottom with arrows, each guided by a kid-friendly question and a sentence starter (I think... / I see... / This shows...). It pairs perfectly with our Will It Rain Later Today organizer for a rising-stakes set.
Aligned to NGSS K-ESS3-2 and grade-banded ELA standards for opinion writing, citing text evidence, and discussion (W.2.1, RI.2.1, SL.2.1), it builds science reasoning and writing together. A complete answer key with sample responses is included. Just print and go.
