8. A student collects the following data in their lab. Trial
Temperature
Reaction Rate

Once they collect their data they develop a claim-evidence-reasoning statement
Claim: The rate of a reaction decreases as the temperature decreases.
Evidence: As the temperature of the reaction increased from 10°C to 25°C the reaction rate increased from 60
seconds to 90 seconds.
Reasoning: Reaction rate depends on the temperature of the reactants. So when the temperature decreases, so
should the reaction rate. Particles need to collide in order to react. Lower temperatures allow molecules to move
slow enough to stick together and react so the reaction rate decreases.
Use the space below to provide feedback to the student. Was their conclusion correct? How should they fix it?
