Day 10 — A fresh sound finding and a next question

Teaching purpose

Capture later sound/inquiry understanding with a new source and matched component prompts, then decide the next actual opportunity rather than declare a completed standard.

Taught prerequisites: Days 6–9 explicitly teach source vibration, action comparison, sound-caused receiver motion as sourced knowledge, useful prediction and limits. Compare shared components with Sound First while retaining different support/evidence modes.

Prepare: Teacher-held Sound Later stages, complete factual sound text already taught, blank response sheet, separate staff key. Optional unfamiliar locally approved actual source; gentle sound only if wanted.

Partial opportunity codes: AC9S2U02, AC9S2H01, AC9S2I01, AC9S2I02, AC9S2I03, AC9S2I04, AC9S2I05, AC9S2I06; whole meanings and limits.

Suggested 35-minute script

1. Choose a route · 3 min. Say, “Here is a new sound question. You can use quiet notes or an agreed gentle try.” Choose speech, signs, AAC, drawings, typing or exact adult scribe; private work is welcome.

2. Keep a first idea · 5 min. For source response, give Sound Later Stage 1 only and retain question/prediction/reason. For actual response, agree one fresh safe comparison and capture before acting. Record actual prior exposure; do not promise an unseen source.

3. Safe plan · 7 min. Ask what will change and which relevant conditions should match. Adult approves/adjusts safety and records their input. If no suitable actual test exists, source interpretation remains available without claiming child practical conduct. No minimum repeats, audible result or completed log is needed.

4. Find and organise · 10 min. Release Stage 2 or conduct the wanted approved comparison. Use actual results for a real route. Organise action, movement/sound report, source and unknown in empty fields or paper. Neutral reader gives all literal facts without supplying interpretation; separate key remains staff-side.

5. Explain and question · 7 min. Ask what the evidence supports, how it compares with the kept prediction and what fair further question could be asked with guidance. Ask the taught source/air/receiver concept separately: a source’s visible movement alone is not evidence of a receiver vibrating. Accept valid uncertainty and contrary actual findings.

6. Teach next · 3 min. Retain first and later responses with dates/support/evidence kind. Describe demonstrated components and unavailable practical opportunities, not total score or WW/full-Year 2 attainment. After precise teaching, use a reserved different recheck if helpful; future Earth/sky and suitable stretch work remain open.

Three useful context choices

Choose one; the three are alternatives, not a completion quota. Contexts and their supplied accounts are original fiction unless a particular factual source is named. Real results replace fictional values on actual routes.

1. Cartoon sound cue

Choose a fresh sound comparison for an invented cartoon, using a teacher-approved unfamiliar source or the complete held notes. Choose action/communication; own operation, directed adult operation and quiet interpretation are available. Record the outcome instead of deciding which cue must win.

2. Tabletop-game cue

Choose a new sound question for an imaginary tabletop game, with a visible alternative. Use the complete held comparison or a suitable actual source with results open. A supplied sound report does not prove any real player noticed the cue; no hearing test is made.

3. Museum science message

Choose a tiny sound-source/receiver message for an invented museum display. Interpret the new held comparison or a locally suitable real source, in your chosen mode. Keep source reports separate from the taught receiver-energy model; neither a fictional visitor nor a drawing provides real feedback or receiver observation.

Participation and evidence

The child can choose the question, arrangement, stopping point or communication. Offer own approved action, learner-directed adult action or complete source interpretation; these do not supply the same practical evidence. Quiet/private/AAC/signed/pointed/exact-scribed routes are available. Adult records operator, actual channels, supplied account/model, neutral support and scientific prompts separately. Guided comparison is appropriate; no fixed learning-style labels or prescribed outcome.

Notice, then teach

Criterion: Later response accurately ties new action/source/record to a bounded explanation; receiver-energy knowledge is distinguished from source movement, and guided fair next question is supported.

Next teaching: Use the descriptive component rubric, retain first response, teach only missing meaning and offer the reserved new sound recheck. No whole-standard score or compulsory sensorimotor participation.

Child card · ordinary complete source choices · matching aid and full alternative · home · two optional extras.

Staff selection: Stage 1 before finding and Stage 2 after capture. Keep them separate.
