Abstract
The inspiration for this study came from my experience working on a project with the Far West Laboratory in San Francisco. The project was called Portraits of Intermediate Life Science Classes (Lash et al., 1984) and was part of their Secondary Science and Mathematics Improvement Program. The goal of the project was to document how eleven 7th grade life science teachers in California and Utah taught science.
