- Provide students with novel inquiries that provoke them to raise causal questions for which they have no ready answer (but do have several previous experiences that are in some way analogous so that they can serve as hypothesis sources).
- Challenge students to propose several possible explanations (hypotheses/theories) to answer the questions. Challenge students to design and carry out tests of their proposed explanations.
- Sequence experience so that the complexity of the explanations and test progresses from the observable and relatively simple to the non-observable and relatively complex.
