The document provides guidance on writing scientific explanations for design lab activities by outlining the key components and process. It discusses the importance of explanations in increasing understanding and reasoning skills. Explanations should contain a claim supported by evidence from collected data and reasoning about how the evidence supports the claim. Students share initial explanations with peers for comments before the teacher's final assessment. Explanations must be clear, precise, and logically articulate the relationship between the data, claim, and conclusions.
