Judge a health product claim using evidence
When to use this goal
For high school students who accept health and supplement ads at face value or decide based on how a product looks. Present levels in reading short ads, or access to read-aloud, decide fit. This is science reasoning, not health advice.
- Baseline
- Score two responses on ads the student has not seen. Choose ads for common products (energy drinks, sleep aids, skin products) with no direct link to the student's own health needs.
- Tips
- Links science class to adult decision-making and media literacy. Use real ads but avoid products tied to any student's medical needs. The school nurse can help choose fact sheets.
- Limits
- This is not medical or nutrition guidance. Reading level of the fact sheet affects scores; adjust or read aloud and note it.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a print or online ad for a health product, a short fact sheet from a health agency, and 3 questions, the student will state the product's claim, say whether the ad gives evidence for it, and write whether the fact sheet supports the claim with one detail independently, earning a score of at least 7 out of 9 on a 3-row claim evaluation rubric scored 0 to 3 per row, on 3 of 4 consecutive scored responses, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected every two weeks.
Baseline: 2 out of 9 rubric points.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Rubric score fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Rubric scoring gives rubric score data.
Met: Review timeframe. Stated.
Met: Baseline and target compatible. Same unit, change in the right direction.
Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Science Skills.
Met: Level of support. Defined.
Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.
Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.

- Score each sample with a 3-row claim evaluation rubric scored 0 to 3 per row. Attach or reference the rubric's score descriptors.
- Use the same prompt type and conditions for each scored sample.
- If two people score, check agreement on a few samples before relying on the data.
