How Far...? Document by STUDENT-1 & STUDENT-2 period: Section 1: Introduction Thinking Ahead Note: Summarizing the Theories: The Light Dies Out Theory says... The Light Goes Forever Theory says... Section 2: Introduction Evidence Notes: Take notes on each piece of evidence after you survey it. In your notes, critique the science ideas involved, the methods used to create it, and the credibility of the source. Categorize each piece of evidence as supporting one of the two theories.

Our LDO evidence is... The specific reason that this evidence is relevant to the debate is... Create LGF Evidence: Create a piece of evidence from your everyday lives to support the LIGHT GOES FOREVER theory. Our LGF evidence is... The specific reason that this evidence is relevant to the debate is... Create More Evidence: Pick either theory and create another piece to support it from your everyday lives. Another piece of evidence is... The specific reason that this evidence is relevant to the debate is... Looking Back Note: Checking Our Plan: Thinking about the debate coming up, we think the evidence we've created will help us support our theory by. . . Section 4: Specialize Specialize Evidence Notes: Take notes on either the TELESCOPE or LIGHT DETECTOR evidence. In your notes, critique the science ideas involved, the methods used to create it, and the credibility of the source. Categorize each piece of evidence as supporting one of the two theories.

Section 5: Refine Argument Thinking Ahead Note: Specific things we need to think about as we refine our argument include... Which theory are you supporting: [ ] Light Dies Out [ ] Light Goes Forever Supporting Evidence for Your Theory: Look over the evidence from the Web and the evidence you created. Decide which pieces you want to talk about during the debate‹at least three pieces. Remember: you want to support your theory as best you can. List the evidence you want to present in your debate: Supporting Evidence 1 ‹ Supporting Evidence 2 ‹ Supporting Evidence 3 ‹ Contradictory Evidence to Your Theory: Scientists should also be able to explain (as best they can) any evidence that contradicts their theory. This is part of making a convincing scientific argument. Decide which pieces you think contradict your theory the most. List the evidence which strongly contradicts your theory: Contradictory Evidence 1 ‹ If someone mentions it during the debate, we can respond by saying... Contradictory Evidence 2 ‹ If someone mentions it during the debate, we can respond by saying... Contradictory Evidence 3 ‹ If someone mentions it during the debate, we can respond by saying... Looking Back Note: Checking Our Understanding: In thinking about how it all fits together, we're confused about...
