Consider what knowledge, skills or insights you might need to meet this challenge successfully: light a bulb with only one length of wire and a battery. What do you need to know, and how do you integrate this knowledge? What role did development play in preparing you for this challenge? Science educators can identify the skills that are necessary to deal with this task. Cognitive scientists can outline the developmental progression of skills that learners build and organize to create possible solutions. In this chapter we put together cognitive development with task performance. We use a research-based practical de?nition for skills that allows educators and cognitive scientists to judge the complexity of activities and solutions, and to identify the processes and steps by which learners build richer understandings as they cope with challenges such as turning on the light bulb.
