Résumé
The data that will be presented are part of a larger study in which 10-year-old children are observed elaborating scientific ideas about a physical phenomenon: buoyancy. They are presented with successive experimental activities during which, alone or with a peer, they regularly have to confront their predictions with the observation of whether different objects sink or not, and to try to build scientific explanations.
Two activities will be considered here: sharing ideas in a dialogue and writing a general scientific explanation. These activities occur in a concrete context (available objects and tools) that constraints further elaborations. We would like to see to what extent these activities lead to different argumentative processes and conducts.
