significant gender difference in terms of collaborative reasoning. We identified criticalfactors that affected students’ final decisions in each unit of discourse analysis. Girls' engineeringdecisions were safety-oriented, so they prioritized energy options with “no known disadvantages”even if other options had known advantages. In contrast, boys selected an option if they felt thatthey had collected sufficient evidence to reach consensus and did not select an option if it includedeconomic disadvantages or technological limitations.IntroductionArgumentation plays a key role in engineering. For example, in a study of argumentation acrossthe undergraduate curriculum, Wolfe [1] found that all of the engineering assignments included inthe analysis

that will either introduce lessons they plan to cover in the classroom and/or perhaps serve as a culminating experience for their students’ learning. For example, Energy is introduced in local schools in Grade 4 and typical classroom curricula covers: Matter and Energy, Technology/Engineering and Engineering Design [9]. According to the state curriculum frameworks, the overview for Grade 4: Matter and Energy states:“In grade 4, students observe and interpret patterns related to the transfer of matter and energyon Earth, in physical interactions, and in organisms. Students learn about energy—its motion,transfer, and conversion—in different physical contexts….” [10]In terms of engineering, technology and applications of science, the same state

science aims to more deeply connect engineering design and practice with science conceptsusing inquiry-based methods. The framework relates science to students’ everyday lives, ensuresstudents learn about being careful consumers of scientific and technological information, andprepares them with the skills to enter careers in science, engineering, andtechnology. Curriculum must harmoniously integrate the three dimensions of science learninghighlighted by NGSS: core ideas, science and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts.While the core ideas are similar to past standards, the emphasis on students’ understanding of theapproach and methods employed by engineers and scientists, and the demand that engineeringand technology be integrated
