“…We recognize that there may be important epistemic messages (Russ, ) that these decisions convey that could (and ideally would) reach beyond a specific activity or even unit. For example, messages about mechanistic accounts or about norms of measurement would ideally persist throughout every investigation, even in new science contexts (Krist, Schwarz, & Reiser, ; Manz, ). Even more broadly, messages about the epistemic framing or sense of how students are allowed and expected to participate would ideally carry over and continue to influence all subsequent activity in a space that was framed similarly (Hutchison & Hammer, ; Rosenberg, Hammer, & Phelan, ).…”

“…As described above, experiences in the lab were designed for students to practice formulating a scientific question, developing/testing hypotheses, and using the evidence generated to defend claims and practice critique of science in a community (as opposed to specifically understanding pill bug behavior). Undoubtedly, content-specific disciplinary reasoning (Krist, Schwarz, & Reiser, 2019) would be needed to successfully engage in many of these skills. To support this necessary content-specific learning, abbreviated summaries of relevant articles (e.g.…”

“…This cycle may be visualized as a series of snapshots of system-states that describe the properties of the system at any given moment (Vattam et al, 2011). Engaging in mechanistic reasoning about these types of phenomena involves coordinating entitybehavior relationships or properties with system-states into a chain-like sequence of events, connecting several interactions together over space or time (Krist et al, 2019). Mechanistic reasoning is an intersecting form of thinking across multiple scientific practices.…”

“…As a heuristic, it can help students guide decision-making, evaluation, and reflection as they construct and test scientific ideas. When students use these heuristics they do so in a way that requires them to develop and use mental models, especially when recognized relationships across space and time (Krist et al, 2019), as presented in our study of learning about the LK ecosystem.…”
