The article explores how kids get better at figuring things out as they go through school. Researchers tested students in different grades on their ability to reason in new situations. They found that kids make big improvements in this skill between 5th and 9th grade. Younger kids also show growth, but it slows down after 9th grade. The study suggests that being good at figuring things out on your own is more important for understanding science in real life than just getting good grades in school.
