Abstract: Two contrasting teams were analyzed qualitatively in a science unit in which students collaborate in teams to learn science concepts through a design project. The unit was focused on learning concepts of electricity by designing an electronic alarm system. The difference in the success of one of the teams to learn the science content can be attributed to their ability to focus systematic efforts on exploring one lower-level design goal at a time.
