Start here — ask, try, look
“What would you like to find out about this little paper roof?” Choose one question, predict before the try, then watch what happens when an adult gently places one broad light card on it. It may bend, stay similar, slip or be unclear. A favourite question, an unexpected result or one careful look is useful Science. This is a dry tabletop model, not a real shelter or a strength contest.
- Adult prepares one familiar approved setup, or uses the complete model/director route. Two low broad fixed supports, one broad paper sheet and one very light broad card; no tools, stacks or real-weather test during the activity. Preparation estimate 5–10 minutes, unmeasured, depending on local supplies/access; no purchase required.
- Ten short scripts: one child question and one small-group try first. Thirty switchable routes preserve the target, with direct observation, child-directed adult action/report and a complete labelled model route. No fixed learning-style labels.
- Twenty varied worked examples, ten optional home conversations, ten playful extensions, short read-alouds. No full log from every child or arbitrary repeat count.
- Eight original illustrated A4 pairs / exact linear and tactile alternatives. Print just what helps. One shared short row can hold a group's actual observation; each child's useful question/prediction/response/support is noted only as needed.
- Optional tiny try helper: preparation picture and three short reminders, not a physics simulator or record of a trial. Complete paper/noJS alternatives.
- Keep fresh AJ/AK and the separate key held until first responses. Open safe next questions; later short components allowed, no timed finish or term grade from two paper cases.
The paper's form may be flat or creased; that does not make it a different material or prove a stronger form. Name actual roof/support/load materials from reliable information or UNKNOWN. Describe the specific property/action encountered. Match gap, load, paper source and placement only when actually checked; keep differences and interruptions. A plan or fictional report stays separate from an actual trial. No promised fold result, all-material rule, structural rating or learning gain.
Adult sources and review
This advances beyond Weeks 31–32's optical panels with actual low-level paper-form/load observations and child questions. Integrated W33 distinguishes drawings from real observations; W34 has a separate fictional roof report and actual mathematics comparisons. Their results are not ours. This pack's optional live try is a new Science source; a neat roof/artifact alone is not an investigation.
Exact crosswalk · complete original sources · rights/receipts · source pins · four-role desk review · manifest. Selected opportunities SFU03 partial composition/property + SFH01/SFI01–05 conditional on actual evidence. Living-feature grouping and full movement-factor coverage not claimed. Local/current program, material/access and human/child review remain due.
