Teachers used AI to develop science lessons, while keeping responsibility for evidence and local relevance

A qualitative study of 23 teachers followed AI-assisted science lesson design through surveys, lesson documents, chat logs and instructor notes. Teachers used AI to develop concepts, refine activities and connect environmental learning with student action. They also had to verify claims and repeatedly adapt generic suggestions. The study documents a supervised design process; it does not establish that AI saved preparation time or improved pupils' learning.
