As educators push for students to learn science by doing science, there is a need for computational scaffolding to assist students' evaluation of scientific evidence and argument building. In this paper, we present a pilot study of SciNote, a CSCL tool allowing educators to integrate third-party software into a flexible and collaborative workspace. We explore how SciNote enables teams to build data-driven arguments during inquiry-based learning activities.
