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

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.
