SubjectNest · Which record answers our sky question?

A-later · The display's time stories · educator account, criteria and next teaching

Eligibility: After Days 32/37; actual exposure checked. Different source demand, not a matched progress score. Complete source: Fictional community display contains T: a marked Earth place turns through a day/night model; P: named Moon lit appearance recorded as thin on archive date 2, half on 9, near-full on 16, and thin on 31; date 23 has no supplied record, whether observation happened unknown; O: a source-based caption says Earth takes about a year to orbit the Sun. Ten classroom sessions were attended. The display has not collected an actual year of sky observations, and its four appearance notes do not measure an exact 29.5 days. General physical captions need the bank's separate current primary source links.

Exact prompts and meaning

  1. Match a turn, a longer Moon record and an orbit to T, P and O. Expected: day/night turn T; about-month appearance record P; about-year orbit O. Criterion: distinguishes the motions/questions/timescales without requiring numerical memorisation. Next: separate paper turn and orbit jobs using a marked card, then choose which question each answers.
  2. What can P tell us? What stays unknown on date 23? Expected: supplied lit appearance differs and thin occurs in both first/last notes; date 23 finding and whether observation happened unknown. Criterion: preserves the exact missing-record scope rather than inventing dark/zero/no action. Next: use unrelated missing fruit-delivery record versus explicitly cancelled delivery; retain the distinction before another sky archive.
  3. A visitor says ten lessons prove a whole Moon cycle and Earth orbit were watched. Repair the sentence. Expected: attendance is not observation; P is supplied limited archive and O sourced/modelled orbit caption; actual full cycle/year collection not provided. Criterion: separates time elapsed, supplied/model records and actual conduct. Next: put attendance/source/actual observation headings above a different pretend exhibition record.
  4. Choose one longer question and a useful next record or source. Say what is still only a plan. Expected: a named appearance/orbit question, relevant dated/reference/source fields or primary research source; a proposed collection remains unmade until conducted. Criterion: question–record fit and honest future status, not a visibility forecast. Next: offer two unrelated candidate records and let the child choose which field their question needs.

Capture and support

Keep the first response before help. Read neutrally or scribe exactly; note actual communication, operator, prompt and exposure. Source interpretation does not establish actual sky conduct. Record one descriptive state and reason: meaning evidenced here; meaning after named help; unclear here; unobserved on this route. No total or official grade conversion.
