I’d ask for someone to come up and then I’d ask for someone who had something different than they had up, to come up, so we ended up with like 3 or 4 different ones and then we’d look at which one did the best… and then they just debate them. [Alice]

An example of a representational challenge for the students (see Fig. 7.4) was to represent in a drawing the phenomenon that the noon day Sun does not go directly overhead during winter from the location of Melbourne (Australia). This challenge followed a class demonstration and discussion using 3D models representing the phenomenon. Each of the representations draws on different and distinct semiotic resources to indicate the height of the sun above the horizon.
