About this worksheet
End your weather unit with real scientific argument. In this Grade 3 claim-evidence-reasoning capstone, students read a week of temperature data (all near freezing, with snow on two days) and argue which season it is.
A scenario-first setup presents the data, then a structured CER box walks students through the three parts of a scientific explanation: a claim (which season?), evidence (which numbers and facts support it?), and reasoning (why does that evidence point there?). Bold labels and sentence starters scaffold students who are new to CER, with generous writing space for a full response.
Aligned to NGSS 3-ESS2-1, this sheet has students interpret data to draw and justify a conclusion — the reasoning payoff of the whole unit, connecting back to the seasonal weather table.
Your download includes the worksheet and a matching answer key with a full sample claim, evidence, and reasoning. No prep — print and teach.
Perfect as a unit assessment, a writing-in-science task, or CER practice.
