Ms. Smith and her partners engage in lesson study to improve their science curriculum design and instructional strategies. The participants examine which inquiry-based activities enhance student learning, then videotape and analyze their instructional approaches. To share what they learn the team develops a website on their study for their lesson plans, videotapes, and project results. Members also make presentations at local science meetings and write articles about the project findings.
