How do students make meaning from the results of their experimental work?

• Class-wide discussion about what the outcome of the experiment is
•  Individual student explanations and observations are compared and confirmed or contested against the insights and assistive support of the entire group
• Students construct their ideas via peer discussion, argumentation, and negotiation
• Students offer claims along with supporting evidence
• Students suggest ideas to be included in reflections
• Instructor facilitates but does not lead the discussion
