Return to Revise the Claim When Results Change
Teacher: distribute initial evidence before the separate new-evidence page. This complete preview is not a reveal-safe classroom handout.
P · Bridge · Compare a claim with its support
Target: use new evidence to retain, narrow or change a particular claim—or remain uncertain. Prerequisites: read starts/°C/time/change, compare matched trials and identify conditions. Newest does not automatically mean most informative.
K5-D-P ·Two fresh 100 g samples;22°C surroundings;10 min;same covered setup/procedure. Covered liquid water; no active heating/cooling, ice, phase change, direct sunlight or meaningful evaporative cooling. Room, cup, lid and supporting surfaces are at the stated surrounding temperature; it stays constant. Readings represent the sample temperature with a consistent procedure. This is a paper scenario, not apparatus instructions.
Constructed teaching data: these values were invented for this activity, not collected in an experiment.

|---|---|---|
| P-1 | 12 | 16 |
| P-2 | 12 | 17 |
K5-P1. Find both changes. Which claim is supported: (a) these samples warmed in this 10-minute record, or (b) every sample always warms? Explain.
K5-P2. What conditions belong in a bounded claim? What would you compare before using a new result to revise it?
Retain = evidence remains consistent; narrow = limit scope; change = alter a conclusion; uncertain = withhold a confident conclusion. Decisions may combine, such as narrow and uncertain.
M0 · Model · Initial evidence
Work on this page first. Record a bounded claim before turning to the new-evidence page. Question: What does this record support about R’s 20-minute performance? A nominal classroom criterion is final water at or below 15°C in each supplied trial; it is not storage advice or a guarantee.
K5-D-M0 ·Fresh 100 g samples start 10°C in 22°C surroundings. Same sleeve versions, cups/lids,20 min, exposure and procedure within/across trials. Covered liquid water; no active heating/cooling, ice, phase change, direct sunlight or meaningful evaporative cooling. Room, cup, lid and supporting surfaces are at the stated surrounding temperature; it stays constant. Readings represent the sample temperature with a consistent procedure. This is a paper scenario, not apparatus instructions.

K5-M1. Write a bounded claim about R and support it with readings. What limit matters?
Do not look ahead until you have recorded the claim. Keep this page for the revision.
M1 · Model · New evidence
Now compare this record with your original claim. Keep all raw readings.
K5-D-M1 ·R only: fresh 100 g,10°C start,20 min, same R version/cup/lid/exposure/procedure. All surroundings now 28°C. S was not tested. Covered liquid water; no active heating/cooling, ice, phase change, direct sunlight or meaningful evaporative cooling. Room, cup, lid and supporting surfaces are at the stated surrounding temperature; it stays constant. Readings represent the sample temperature with a consistent procedure. This is a paper scenario, not apparatus instructions.

| M-6 | 10 | 18.0 |
Fictional claim to evaluate: “R keeps water at or below 15°C in every room.”
K5-M2. What changed? Which earlier condition-specific statement can stay, and which broader claim needs revision? Can these new results rank R against S?
K5-M3. Use the next-page revision record. Explain why this is a scope change rather than proof that the first record was wrong.
MR · Revision record · Model case
Use K5-D-M0/M1 and retain both pages. Record the actual claim being evaluated. Write, dictate while pointing to data, or use labeled notes. Each field is a prompt; decisions can combine.

K5-MR-3. New evidence and conditions
K5-MR-4. Decision: retain / narrow / change / uncertain (more than one may apply)
