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.

Learner choices

Goal/codes: Reason from a fresh bounded pattern/different-time source and choose an open next question; SFI03/01/04 source opportunities, not physical proof.

Prepare: Hold AM/key; no prior AM demonstration. Exact neutral text and diagram alternative ready.

  1. Open · 3 min. “Here are three new invented notes. What can they tell us?” Introduce held AM with source identity and complete accessible wording.

  2. Respond · 4 min. Capture first child response to shared relation, difference/limit and open next question. Allow all response modes; no teaching answer or assumed right wait/material/fold.

  3. Continue · 7 min. Finish a short component if appropriate or return later. Not a timed completion; one useful answer may be recorded with needed support. Missing predictions stay missing.

  4. After capture · 5 min. After first responses only, use separate key. Name a source-supported local pattern and the different-time limit; no isolated cause or universal elasticity claim.

  5. Own ending · 4 min. Child chooses one favourite actual observation or model idea and a new wonder, a paper puppet scene, or finish. Original play remains separate from evidence about real comfort.

  6. Next · 2 min. Teacher chooses next support from source/stage/pattern/question evidence. No full-standard or learner-outcome improvement claim.

Teacher keeps: one useful shared source/stage phrase or sketch, relevant individual idea/response and support; actual direct/report/model status. Add missing facts only if needed for the claim. Do not fabricate a prior prediction, physical trial or willing audience.
