The 10-week project activities were divided into two-week project preparation andliterature study, seven-week project design and implementation, and one-week report writing andpresentation preparation. Each intern was assigned to work on a specific part of the project basedon their background and interest. The interns also need to work in small groups or as a wholegroup to integrate their work

Though Practice 8 was demonstrated in Classroom B,there was little opportunity for it in Classroom A, so it was not included in the analysis.This review informed the decision to focus on practices 4, 6, and 7, which involve working withdata, explaining phenomena, designing solutions, and engaging in argument from evidence. Toanalyze the student data for these three practices, we broke them down into sub-practicesaccording to NGSS Appendix F [1] for grade band 3 to 5 (see Table 1).For each classroom, we coded for sub-practices first with the richer data
