Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Sofia reviews a circle investigation note at the weather station.Sofia writes a claim and needs to choose an evidence sentence.Claim: The white paper reflected more light.Data:Paper color | Light meter reading------------+--------------------White | 80Black | 35Which sentence uses evidence from the data to support the claim?

ABlack paper reflected more because it is darker.

BThe paper colors were not compared.

CLight meters measure rainfall.

DThe white paper had a light reading of 80, while black paper had 35, so white paper reflected more light.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

During a Grade 3 science activity at the library makerspace, Mateo uses a red data card.Mateo writes a claim and needs to choose an evidence sentence.Claim: The absorbent soil reduced runoff.Data:Soil cover | Runoff after rain model-----------+------------------------Bare clay | 8 cupsMulch and plants | 2 cupsWhich sentence uses evidence from the data to support the claim?

ABare clay reduced runoff because it had the larger runoff number.

BBoth models made equal runoff.

CThe mulch-and-plants model had 2 cups of runoff, while bare clay had 8 cups, so absorbent soil cover reduced runoff.

DPlants make rain fall upward.

AThe plant without water grew more because it started drier.

BThe watered plant grew 9 cm, while the plant without water grew 1 cm, so water helped the plant grow better.

CBoth plants grew 1 cm.

DThe data are about magnets.

Solution & Explanation:A good evidence sentence names the data and explains how the data support the claim.
