Goal: predict and select a locally safe method that could answer a specific motion question, identifying why two alternatives do not. Proposed codes: AC9SFI01, AC9SFI02. Prepare: Model Q, safe-motion routine, blank question mat, Card 12.
- Check · 3 min. Confirm local approval, a broad slow-moving object and clear flat START/CATCH lane; if unavailable, mark plan-only model.
- Question · 4 min. Reopen the child's Day 11 question or use “Where might this specific object stop after one gentle release?” Record prediction before any real action.
- Model · 5 min. Read Model Q's three exact choices. Think aloud: one is a candidate only after approval; small hard bead is unsafe; drawing alone is not an actual test.
- Child try · 7 min. Child uses Card 12 to set/indicate START, CATCH, who will release, and a no-touch access route. Ask what should stay the same if the try repeats. Adult signs off before any release.
- Check · 4 min. Child explains why pushing harder would change the condition; record NOT TESTED if no actual try occurs today.
- Exit · 2 min. Keep the prediction in its own box, with the result still blank or NOT TESTED.
