This paper is an edited and much‐abridged diary of the day‐to‐day problems encountered by the author in her attempt to set up a school investigation. This was a controlled experiment involving the use of floor and screen turtles with two groups of fourth year primary school children. Apart from the educational, psychological and administrative problems involved in the implementation of such an experiment, the practical difficulties were many.
