Through a classroom research, argumentation skills such as how they declare claim, find the data, build the reason and justify their point of view were analyzed. An intervention was done to foster their argumentation, specifically in strengthen their prior knowledge through reading science text. The results showed that the argumentation process and products increased as they experienced in citing research article and doing scientific communication in the class. The implication for best practice in teaching scientific argumentation is discussed.
