Abstract

In lieu of an abstract, here is the article's first paragraph:

To learn the critical skill of scientific argumentation, students need learning experiences that involve constructing evidence-based explanations. Students often struggle to propose, support, critique, refine, justify, and defend a scientific position (Llewellyn 2013). This article describes a lesson in which biology students are challenged to support their claims with evidence-based reasoning as they research the thermoregulation of dinosaurs.
