Question

does the size of a car engine affect the acceleration?
identifying components of cer
use the following information to answer the question about
claim, evidence, and reasoning.
experiments:
the engine size of a car is measured in cylinders. four cars with
different engine sizes, but the same mass, are accelerated from
rest. the number of seconds required to reach 60 mph is
measured for each car.
data table:
which of the following would be a claim for a cer?
the engine size does not affect the acceleration speed.
the acceleration affects the engine size.
the engine size affects the acceleration speed.

Explanation:

A claim in CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) is a statement that answers the question. The question is "Does the Size of a Car Engine Affect the Acceleration?". The first option is a counter - claim. The second option has the cause - effect reversed (engine size is the independent variable, acceleration is the dependent variable). The third option directly answers the question in the affirmative, which is a proper claim.

Answer:

The engine size affects the acceleration speed.
