Start with the next useful question. These ten lessons need not be one uninterrupted block. Keep a small response, then use its next-help idea.
-
Day 31 · Find a water place — Name a store/source of water and distinguish a place from a process.
-
Day 32 · A puddle gets smaller — Explain evaporation as liquid water becoming invisible water vapour; distinguish explanation from observation.
-
Day 33 · Drops on the outside — Explain condensation as vapour becoming liquid droplets and use a comparison clue carefully.
-
Day 34 · Give the arrow a job — Identify precipitation and connect the three key processes through sky, landscape and ocean without a fixed-clock claim.
-
Day 35 · Try a fresh water story — Apply taught water-process meanings to fresh A/B sources and choose the next teaching need.
-
Day 36 · What would make the comparison fair? — Plan a scaffolded comparison, make an observation-based prediction and learn familiar volume/duration scale procedures.
-
Day 37 · Keep zero, missing and spill separate — Organise supplied observations in a table/column graph, interpret zero/missing/invalid correctly and limit a conclusion.
-
Day 38 · Follow a public water-supply clue — Use a dated public source for a bounded local example and separate natural cycle from human water supply.
-
Day 39 · Make a water trail worth using — Create and review a useful audience-specific explanation, using water science accurately and identifying model limits.
-
Day 40 · What is clearer now? — Use later fresh forms only after relevant teaching and make an evidence-based next teaching plan.
Select a new story
A and B after Day 34; C after Day 37; D after Day 39. Later forms follow relevant teaching on Day 40. A full bank exposes all held stories; give the child just the selected source and own page. Record prior exposure/support; familiar process words and representations remain familiar. First/later forms are not statistically calibrated.
