In recent years, there has been a growing interest in how students make sense of physics concepts, but there is as of yet little consensus on what it actually means for students to "make sense" of physics. We propose a theoretical model for the sensemaking process synthesized from the science education research literature on sensemaking. We then illustrate the model with a case study of two introductory physics students articulating and resolving an inconsistency in their understanding of electric circuits in a clinical interview context. We show how the students’ transitions in discourse and framing fit with the model, and argue that this sensemaking process is driven by a particularly vexing inconsistency in knowledge.
