For thewind task, the factors students attended to were coded, with codes such as, “weight of object,”and tracked both across groups and over time. The analysis revealed that some factors, such asweight, were common across all groups and persisted through the design task, while others, suchas air flow, were taken up by a few groups, often after a long series of failures. Importantly, theinitial factors, such as weight, were not abandoned in order to accommodate later factors, butrather factors appeared concurrently later in the task.
