Goal/codes: Notice one approved object’s parts/materials and choose a property question. Partial/conditional opportunities: AC9SFU03 / AC9SFH01 / AC9SFI01 / AC9SFI02.
Prepare: One optional approved unloaded roof/sample; setup/parts aids. Local preflight/access required; all physical actions adult-owned/approved.
- Invite · 3 min. “What do you wonder about this little paper roof?” Keep a spontaneous child question. Offer bend/gap as starting ideas only if needed; no story or question form to copy.
- Meet the materials · 4 min. Adult identifies roof/support/load parts from reliable information or UNKNOWN. Child notices an accessible property. A crease is form, not proof of different material.
- Look or try · 7 min. Explore an unloaded approved sheet on the mat by looking or a welcomed gentle bend/director action. No loaded-gap touching. Ask “What did you notice?” Keep actual sense or attributed report explicit.
- Choose a question · 5 min. Child chooses a safe question for tomorrow’s optional card placement, or a different accessible property question. Adult checks feasibility; “What will happen?” can be narrowed together.
- Tell one idea · 4 min. Child shares a question/property through point/sign/AAC/words/drawing or director choice. One useful phrase is enough; adult notes it privately, not a child audit card.
- Finish · 2 min. Return actual objects safely. A model/director route is complete teaching; physical result stays NOT TRIED if absent.
If not observed: keep the child’s question and access/contribution truthful. Offer a smaller welcomed route or later opportunity; pass/unavailable is not “cannot do.” Model/report can support reasoning, not invented direct sensory observation.
