A previously reported botanical data retrieval system based on the 'Concentric Ring View' search interface for multi-faceted metadata has been improved, and an educational application has been developed for use in elementary school science lessons. This system enables students not only to search for plant names but also to learn about the morphological features and taxonomy of plants. The educational application was developed by first having 16 elementary school teachers perform a usability test to identify any problems with using this search interface in the classroom. The operations and displays for browsing the next set of retrieved candidates and for specifying search facets were then improved, and an operation for bookmarking favorite plants was added. A usability test with two elementary school students demonstrated that the improved system enables students to learn more plant features and common properties from the relationships between attribute values and retrieved results.
