“…Henze, ). Derksen () describes people as scientific instruments in the social sciences, noting that scientific instruments can be divided into “…those that produce phenomena, and those that register them…” (p. 22). Stella's commentary (and continuous question‐asking) relative to Brenda's activity served to guide Brenda, and prompt her thinking.…”

In this paper, we explore the details of one youth's science-related learning in-and out-ofschool at the time of her participation in an ethnography of youth science and technology learning across contexts and over time. We use the Cultural Learning Pathways Framework to analyze the youth's interests, and the related sociocultural, historical, material, and affect-laden practices in which she and her family participated. The following question guided our analysis: How do everyday moments-experienced across settings, pursuits, social groups, and time-result in scientific learning, expertise development, and identification? We found that this youth's interest in various aspects of the sciences was years in the making, embedded in situated events that were part of a space-time continuum bound by passion for the practices involved, influenced by specific cultural practices, and explored with the help of close family collaborators. We also found that school science activity in which the youth in question participated both supported and could have potentially constrained her science-related cultural learning pathways. # 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Although control appears to reside with the experimenter in this and many other setups in experimental social psychology, the experimenter is forced into this position by the possibility of resistance from the subject. 72 The elaborate architecture of the experiment is a measure of the control that the subject might otherwise exercise. Because the subject will likely resist manipulation if s/he realizes what is going on, the experimenter is required to introduce deception into the experiment.…”
