Abstract
In this case study, the action research experiences of Katrina, a mid-career grade one teacher, are described as she incorporated a webquest (see Appendix-Part A) into her science curriculum. Katrina conducted her research with a group of 25 students; 16 boys and 9 girls, whom she described as “typical, active six- and seven-year olds from diverse families and mixed socio-economic backgrounds.” While she was not part of a school-based action research team, she collaborated with two other grade one teachers from another school in the same district.
