Explanation:

A claim is a statement that answers a question. The text about block - masses and fall times presents experimental data, but the description "A statement that answers your question" directly refers to a claim. Evidence is data or facts that support a claim. Reasoning is the explanation that connects evidence to the claim. Cross - cutting concepts are overarching ideas in science. A variable is something that can change in an experiment. Since the description is about a statement answering a question, it is a claim.
