Academically low-performing urban sixth graders engaged in inquiry activity received a suggestion that they focus their investigation on the role of a single factor. This suggestion had significant effects on their use of a superficially dissimilar strategy--controlling the variation of other factors.

These results have implications, we propose, for what undergoes development with respect to scientific thinking and how this development can best be facilitated.
