Screen Time and Sleep: Claim, Evidence, Reasoning
Life Science, Period 3 (Grade 8), 26 students graded
Does evening screen time cause teenagers to get less sleep? Using Source A (the Hartwell Adolescent Sleep Study data) and Source B (the researcher interview), write a paragraph that states a claim, supports it with specific evidence from the sources, and explains your reasoning. Address at least one alternative explanation for the pattern in the data.

The rubric ClassLens graded againstShow
ClassLens grades to your rubric. The sharper the criteria, the sharper the grading; a vague criterion gets a vague grade. This is the rubric behind the report below, the question that lets the engine surface the reasoning gap.
Claim (4 pts)
States a clear, defensible claim that directly answers whether evening screen time causes teens to get less sleep. A vague or hedged statement that does not commit to a position (for example, 'screens kind of affect sleep') does not fully meet this criterion.
Evidence (6 pts)
Cites specific, relevant data from the provided sources, quoted accurately: the sleep averages (6.1 versus 8.0 hours), the correlation (r = 0.62), and/or the sample size of 1,200. A response that refers to the study only in general terms, cites no specific figures, or does not actually cite the data does not meet this criterion.
Reasoning (6 pts)
Explains how the evidence supports the claim, and reasons correctly about what the data can show. Correctly distinguishes correlation from causation: the Hartwell study is observational, so treating the association as proof that screens cause sleep loss, or asserting causation without addressing the direction of the effect (reverse causation) or alternative explanations, does NOT meet this criterion. Also interprets statistical measures correctly: a correlation coefficient such as r = 0.62 is a measure of the strength of a relationship, not a percentage of variance or of the effect explained.
Alternative Explanations (4 pts)
Acknowledges and engages at least one specific alternative explanation or limitation of the data, such as reverse causation, stress, caffeine, homework load, or the observational nature of the study. Merely stating that other things might matter, without naming and engaging a specific alternative, does not meet this criterion.
