Gr4_Unit2_Lesson6

We will use reasoning to describe patterns by analyzing data from maps in order to reduce the effects of Earth’s changes over time.

Week 3 Lesson 6

THINK ABOUT IT

List two reasons why the daughter thinks her dad is an alien.

Is Baltimore likely to experience a strong earthquake?

Explain whether Baltimore (shown with the purple star) is likely to experience a strong earthquake (8.0 or above). In your response be sure to include evidence from the Earthquake Map.

Multiple Select

“No. There are not even that many earthquakes there.”

Does the answer include...

• Claim

• Evidence

• Reasoning

Multiple Choice

The claim was "No."

Is this a strong claim?

• yes

• no

Open Ended

Add to the claim to make it stronger.

"No."

Multiple Choice

The evidence was "There are not even that many earthquakes there."

Is this strong evidence?

• yes

• no

Open Ended

Add to the evidence to make it stronger.

"There are not even that many earthquakes there."

Multiple Select

"No we won't have an earthquake because we are not on the end of a tectonic plate so we should not get an earthquake any time soon."

Does the answer include...

• Claim

• Evidence

• Reasoning

Multiple Choice

The claim was "No we won't have an earthquake"

Is this a strong claim?

• yes

• no

Multiple Choice

The evidence was "because we are not on the end of a tectonic plate so we should not get an earthquake any time soon."

Is this strong evidence?

• yes

• no

Open Ended

Add to the evidence to make it stronger.

"because we are not on the end of a tectonic plate so we should not get an earthquake any time soon."

Multiple Select

"We are not likely to get an earthquake because there are no earthquakes near us and we don't live on the edge of a tectonic plate. So all of the earthquakes are near tectonic plates. So we don't have a chance to have a earthquake."

Does this answer include...

• claim

• evidence

• reasoning

Multiple Choice

The claim was "We are not likely to get an earthquake"

Is this a strong claim?

• yes

• no

Multiple Choice

The evidence was "because there are no earthquakes near us and we don't live on the edge of a tectonic plate."

Is this strong evidence?

• yes

• no

Multiple Choice

The reasoning was "So all of the earthquakes are near tectonic plates. So we don't have a chance to have a earthquake."

Is this strong reasoning?

• yes

• no

Open Ended

Add to the reasoning to make it stronger.

"So all of the earthquakes are near tectonic plates. So we don't have a chance to have a earthquake."

Show What You Know Directions

On Schoology, use the maps and what you've learned about patterns in Earth's features to tell Yahia if it is likely for Egypt to have more earthquakes in the future.

Today we used reasoning to describe patterns by analyzing data from maps in order to reduce the effects of Earth’s changes over time.
