Short 5–10-minute invitations, not a comparable home course or required homework. Choose freely; pause or stop. No purchase, print, device, name/photo/recording, sharing or returned answer. A familiar adult checks clean large smooth pieces, short wide cloth and the clear table. No tools, heat, water, electricity, elastic bands, cords, tying/body wrapping or force increase. A drawing/spoken model is always possible but does not create a real result.
H01 · Cloth corner
Free setup / swap: One clean short cloth or smooth card; a clear table. Swap to a self-drawn cloth/card outline if materials or contact are unavailable.
Your choice and steps: Choose which edge to lift, or choose the pose for a drawn model. Predict; with the adult’s suitability check, gently lift once or direct the adult. Keep one before/after word or picture.
One adult prompt: “What did you notice, and who moved it?”
What to notice: Notice the visible curve, no change, or an unavailable view. Known material comes from its source, not the shape. A drawn pose is a model; its real result is unknown.
Optional next step: Try a different approved edge later, keeping the first record; or choose a label for your model.
H02 · One question
Free setup / swap: Two inspected large same-source card or cloth pieces, or two drawn setup boxes. Adult preparation replaces scissors. No purchase.
Your choice and steps: Choose whether to compare a gentle action with leaving a matched piece flat, or compare named materials under matching relevant conditions. Choose a stop and a question; record a prediction before an optional approved trial.
One adult prompt: “Which detail will you change, and which will match?”
What to notice: Notice whether size, action, history or view also differs. A plan shows choices; it is not completed conduct. A real result is accepted accurately even if unexpected.
Optional next step: Change one confusing setup detail on your plan, without adding a trial.
H03 · Two poses
Free setup / swap: A smooth large card or clean short cloth on a clear table. A self-drawn two-pose model is a free alternative.
Your choice and steps: Choose a table curve or agreed half-turn, and choose your display: did/ noticed words, pictures, or a spoken record. Predict first; child or directed adult acts only when suitable.
One adult prompt: “What did the operator do, and what did you see?”
What to notice: Notice action versus result, and any crease. A shorter tabletop span alone does not mean material disappeared. Do not force a piece straight.
Optional next step: Add a source/operator label or ask a safe question about another pose.
H04 · Marks conversation
Free setup / swap: Paper and a pencil, or spoken labels only. No home stretching is needed. Draw a clearly invented cloth record: rest 2, held 3, released 2 equal units.
Your choice and steps: Choose labels or a sketch to order those supplied poses. Compare them; do not report them as measurements. A separate actual trial is optional only if an adult has suitable short wide cloth and a rehearsed gentle stop.
One adult prompt: “Which value was supplied, and which was actually measured?”
What to notice: In fiction the held increase is 1 and final equals initial 2. In a real version use actual same-unit marks; unknown is not zero. Stop at resistance/fraying/request; no strength ranking.
Optional next step: Make a different invented record with a missing held observation and keep it unknown.
H05 · Material groups
Free setup / swap: Two large prepared paper pieces with a known common origin and a known cloth item; adult checks edges. Swap to self-drawn labelled pieces.
Your choice and steps: Choose your group labels or arrangement. Connect each piece to its known source and count it. No tearing or household search is required.
One adult prompt: “How do you know the material?”
What to notice: Notice source knowledge versus colour; known paper pieces are not new materials merely because there are two. Drawn pieces are source models, not a tear observation.
Optional next step: Choose a new grouping question, such as pieces from the same whole; keep size/mass unknown.
H06 · A tiny record display
Free setup / swap: Scrap paper or spoken headings action/noticed/source. One remembered actual note or an openly invented note; no new test is required.
Your choice and steps: Choose a record and how to display it. Put the action beside the result, name who operated, and mark one unknown if a detail was not observed. An adult can scribe and read it back for correction.
One adult prompt: “Which part do we know, and which part is missing?”
What to notice: Notice that missing is different from a measured no-change result. Preserve the evidence kind and any unit.
Optional next step: Choose a second suitable note later, or ask what observation would fill the unknown.
H07 · Keep a different result
Free setup / swap: A clean short cloth/card and table, or two clearly invented spoken notes. Adult checks whether the piece/history permits a safe repeat; fresh matched pieces may be needed.
Your choice and steps: Choose a previous safe curve question. Predict from its note. If wanted and suitable, repeat with the relevant starting conditions; child or directed adult may act. Keep both records. With no trial, label two differing notes invented.
One adult prompt: “Does the new note agree with your prediction?”
What to notice: Notice differences without erasing them. A changed action/history may explain a difference but does not prove its cause. No agreed outcome is required.
Optional next step: Choose one relevant condition to inspect before any later approved repeat.
H08 · A useful arrangement
Free setup / swap: One known clean cloth/card, an optional drawn tabletop space, or paper models only. No wearing, load or real shelf details are needed.
Your choice and steps: Choose a display/storage purpose and a prior actual or invented record. Predict one gentle change that might help, then make a labelled plan. A suitable real placement may be checked separately after adult approval.
One adult prompt: “Which record helps your idea?”
What to notice: Notice prediction versus checked result. A model fit across one dimension does not certify household, structural or hygiene use.
Optional next step: Choose one missing dimension or real observation to check later; the plan can remain private.
H09 · A new question after class
Free setup / swap: Paper, a remembered ordinary note or spoken words. No fresh assessment source is sent home.
Your choice and steps: Choose an ordinary material question you care about, such as how an edge might curve. Choose a drawing, label or spoken plan. Name a safe step and an unknown; an adult may write your words.
One adult prompt: “What would you like to find out?”
What to notice: Notice own question, prediction and untested status. Use an ordinary example; the separate assessment source is kept in class.
Optional next step: Point to an earlier ordinary note that could help your prediction, or leave it uncertain.
H10 · A careful claim after class
Free setup / swap: One remembered ordinary record or an invented non-assessment example, plus paper or spoken words. No purchase or audience reply.
Your choice and steps: Choose one thing the record shows and one thing it cannot show. Make a small message by drawing, labels or speech, and choose a safe next question. Adult can scribe exactly.
One adult prompt: “What does this one record let you say?”
What to notice: Notice a bounded claim rather than always, better or a safety promise. Source models remain source models; the separate assessment source is kept in class.
Optional next step: Revise one too-big word or add an evidence-source label. No response needs to be returned.
