1 MS ESS3 5. Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. Learning Target: I can analyze a variety of climate data and can use the data along with scientific reasoning to develop and support my argument. 1

2 Activity Worksheet 2 Copy the question in your journal. You will be constructing an argument supported by evidence. Look at each piece of data and think about how it might help support your thinking. Then use the data to help you answer the question. How does the data support your claim? Explain. What could be causing the changes in our global climate? 2

8 Group Work Construct an Argument You and your group members will share your ideas in an effort to produce one strong argument with evidence. After sharing information, you and your group members will plan your argument on paper or on a white board. The format you will use will follow. However, before you begin your argument planning, let's discuss what would constitute a "solid" argument. (How would you determine if the argument was strong or not)? 8
