Abstract
The purpose of this symposium is to explore students' scientific argumentation practices in relation to the recently released Framework for K-12 Science Education (NRC, 2011) in the United States. We will present data from four research efforts on pre-kindergarten, upper elementary school, and high school students' science learning in classroom settings, followed by a reflective presentation by a discussant. Given that our work spans multiple grade levels of formal school instruction, we will discuss our observations across these groups of students while mapping to the goals and suggested progression of argumentation practices described in the NRC framework.
