Laboratory work is considered essential in promoting students’ learning of science and of scientific enquiry. What the students perceive as important to learn from a regular laboratory exercise is probably affected by the teacher’s objectives. This explanatory single case study includes use of a palette of methods, such as pre- and post-interviews & observations. Our results point to the importance of teacher involvement to help students understand what to look for, how to do it and why. Especially teacher–student interactions during lab work seemed to influence what students perceived as important to learn. In the laboratory exercise in this case, the teacher helped the students to observe and to use their observations in their explanations. Not only what the teacher says, but also how the teacher acts is important to help students understand what to learn from a laboratory exercise.
