	Abstract: Science centers provide their visitors with hands-on exhibits that allow them to construct knowledge about natural phenomena in a process called discovery learning. In this paper, we investigate the multimodal means small groups of visitors use to arrive at joint discoveries. Based on a video corpus of naturally occurring visitor interactions in a science center, we argue that joint discoveries are a specific form of the more general conversational mechanism of noticing: They consist of a process which starts with an 'initiation' by one party and is followed by an 'acknowledgement' by another party. In addition, the participants negotiate the discovery-relevance of a noticeable by referring to its novelty and its spectacular character, and they actively link their activity to the institution science center by means of contextualization cues. Only once all of these aspects are achieved do the participants treat a noticing as a joint discovery. This paper advances our understanding of the mechanism of noticing by investigating the under-researched question of how noticings are tied to a specific joint activity and to their context of use. It also contributes to a better understanding of a central element of discovery learning, namely the interactive accomplishment of a joint discovery.
