From Activity to Gestures and Scientific Language.
Roth, Wolff-Michael; Welzel, Manuela
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v38 n1 p103-36 Jan 2001
Presents the results of a study analyzing students' gestures and scientific discourse by supporting three assertions about the relationship between laboratory experiences, gestures, and scientific discourse. Discusses the implications for laboratory experiments which students should attempt to explain while still in the lab rather than afterwards and away from the materials. (Contains 67 references.)
