Goal: distinguish a repeating decoration from a pattern across comparable actual Science observations. Proposed codes: AC9SFH01, AC9SFI03. Prepare: invented Model V, repeat-record mat, actual dated W7 logs if any, Card 36.

  1. Source gate · 3 min. Name Model V as three fictional records. Retrieve real W7 logs separately; never combine model and actual as one data set.
  2. Read · 4 min. Read V1/V2/V3 fully. Child says which drawn after marks look alike and which differ; no real wipe claim.
  3. Model · 5 min. Teacher contrasts “line, circle, line, circle” decorative AB sequence with a Science record pattern: results from repeated comparable actual tries. A repeated picture alone is not repeated observation.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Card 36 routes ask sorting V model results and planning three separate actual marked areas on one approved surface; source/date/action/result fields stay blank before real tries.
  5. Check · 4 min. Ask whether two fictional thin lines prove real marks lighten. Child says no; a real local comparable set is needed.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Child predicts whether three future real trials might look alike; mark prediction, not result.
