Abstract The Procedural and Conceptual Knowledge in Science (PACKS) Project is concerned with children's ability to carry out investigation tasks in school science, and with the understandings which inform their actions. The project observed groups of children at three age points between 9 and 14 years, carrying out one of seven investigation tasks, and collected data from informal and semiformal interviews and written and oral diagnostic probes. This paper describes the model of investigation performance which has been developed by the PACKS project and validated using the data collected. Children's understandings of the aims and purposes of investigating in science (frame), and of the ideas which underpin criteria for evaluating the quality of empirical data (understanding of evidence), emerge as important factors in determining children's performance of an investigation task, alongside their understanding of the science concepts relevant to that specific task. Examples of children's responses to invest...
