Empirical research, however, indicates that many students do not develop this knowledge or these abilities in school. One way to address this problem is to give students more opportunities to engage in scientific argumentation as part of the teaching and learning of science. This book will help teachers with this task.\" -- Authors Victor Sampson and Sharon Schleigh\u003cbr\u003e Develop your high school students' understanding of argumentation and evidence-based reasoning with this comprehensive book.
