How to build a scientific explanation using the CER framework
In short: Master the art of scientific argumentation. This video demonstrates how to apply the Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning framework to a biology investigation, showing how researchers move from raw data to a structured conclusion.
The CER framework provides a structured method for developing scientific explanations. While often presented as Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning, the process is flexible; other models like CERR or ERC also exist, and the components do not always need to appear in a specific order.
To create a robust argument, researchers often supplement their own experimental data with peer-reviewed research. This video follows the Amoeba Sisters through a practical application of the framework following a biological study.
