Ok, looking at all of the materials [Seeds of Science, FOSS, STC],... I did not notice any mention of the text being structured into a learning cycle.

John-

You may find Larry Malone's (FOSS Co-director) discussion of FOSS and the Learning Cycle to be informative:

Also, the FOSS stories are meant to be used in conjunction with FOSS modules, not as separate stand-along readers.

There is abundant literature on FOSS effectiveness:
