Claims and EvidenceA claim is an assertion without proof or evidence. Evidence is the support needed to prove a claim. Fourth graders are supporting claims with evidence by relying on reputable information, such as text references, observations, data, and use of strategic tools. This work is a foundation for later work on creating reasoned arguments through the use of logic and critical thinking skills.

InteractionInteraction is the relationship between two or more variables that affect each other. Fourth graders investigate the concept of interaction by examining how two or more variables impact and influence each other. This work with interactions builds upon the work with systems and structures.

Compare and ContrastCompare and contrast is the ability to analyze two or more people, places, events, ideas, or objects highlighting their similarities and differences and similarities across a variety of characteristics. Fourth graders are extending the learning of similarities and differences through the analysis of critical findings and the development of analogies, connections, and explanations.
