Ben and a student team examined a shared materials tray. Their purpose was to make shared tools easier to borrow. During the first observation, return cards were forgotten. Instead of treating that result as final, the team introduced an end-of-lesson check. In the next observation, records became more accurate. The students recorded the conditions of each trial so that later comparisons would not rely on memory alone.
