This project successfully integrated AI technology into elementary science inquiry and argumentation learning, enhancing students’ scientific literacy and reasoning skills. Through AI-assisted activities, students used tools for data analysis and text generation to support their reasoning and construct arguments.

Results showed increased student engagement with scientific problems and significant improvements in the structure and quality of arguments, particularly in data interpretation and conclusion drawing. AI-generated examples helped students refine their reasoning, fostering creativity and logical thinking.

Teachers reported reduced workload in lesson preparation and guidance, allowing more focus on advanced teaching goals. Collaboration and peer interaction also improved as students discussed and revised arguments based on AI suggestions.

Overall, the integration of AI introduced an innovative teaching model, boosting learning outcomes and providing valuable tools for educators, with significant potential for broader implementation.
