Teacher copy · prompts and answer keys

Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Day 165 and Day 170 · first response before key/examples. These original source cases sample limited reasoning, not actual sensory investigation/full achievement or a term grade. Adult reads one short chunk/prompt at a time, with exact description, sign/AAC/drawing/scribe/director/no-contact response. Neutral support recorded; later short components allowed, not timed finishes. Keep sources out of planner, practice and home rehearsal. Creator: SubjectNest / NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd with Codex assistance, 30 September 2026, CC BY 4.0. Purpose: fresh bounded interpretation of a prediction/result or changed setup. All reported trials/observers fictional; no actual local result supplied.

Check AJ · the first contact report

Fresh AJ PDF / SVG / exact alternative. Source ROOF-CHECK-AJ-33, actual saved original text/diagram; fictional notebook.

Read source: “The invented roof uses paper from batch J on low cardboard supports at fixed marks. One broad very light card K is placed gently at the middle. Before the try, the prediction says: ‘The middle will keep a gap.’ Before K, a gap is reported as discernible. After K, the paper middle is reported to touch the mat; the support marks and card place did not shift.” No actual trial done here. No general strength/waterproofness, weather result, child’s sensory observation or real observer testimony given.

  1. “What did this notebook report before and after the card?”
  2. “Did the reported result match its earlier prediction? What tells you?”
  3. “What safe question would you like to check next? Could this report prove what every paper roof would do?”

Save source-bound first response, child’s own question/support privately. A truthful partial detail may be noticed through exact attributed reading; do not pretend visual motion from a still diagram.

Check AK · two different gaps

Fresh AK PDF / SVG / exact alternative. Source ROOF-CHECK-AK-34, same creator/date; actual saved text/diagram with fictional reports.

Read source: “Both invented roofs use paper from batch S, the same low cardboard supports and broad very light card M placed gently at the middle. Flat row: supports at the narrow-gap marks; before M, gap discernible; after M, gap still discernible. Creased row: supports at different wide-gap marks; before M, gap discernible; after M, middle touches the mat. No slip is reported. No prediction is recorded for either row.” Adult reads that form and gap differ; diagrams are schematic, not measurements. Other unknowns or direct physical trial evidence are not supplied.

  1. “What do the two rows report after the card? What changed in the setups?”
  2. “Could these rows prove ‘creasing always makes every paper roof stronger’ or tell us whether a prediction matched? Why or what is missing?”
  3. “Choose your own safe next question or small check. What would you want to keep/check before comparing another try?”

No single required next question, number of trials, fold pattern, emotion, arrangement or longer answer. A child can ask about form under checked same gap, a repeat, another approved observation or an unanswered relevant property. These are proposals until actual local preparation/try.

Short private record

Date/source/access ______; first source response ______; own next question/prediction if relevant ______; actual contribution/support/neutral prompt ______; later change if any ______; next teaching ______. MODEL / REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE for direct-investigation claims from these cases. One response can be enough; don't reproduce every field as a child worksheet or invent actual material/performer/audience evidence.
