| Abstract: | This study explored the interactions of a highly motivated group of students doing traditional practical work in science.
Interest focussed on the social construction of understanding and how this could be described. Despite considerable collaboration
in constructing an understanding of the task the students rarely focussed on the concepts the practical work was intended
to illustrate. Collaboration was described in terms of social behaviours and discourse moves which supported the use of cognitive
strategies.
