Teacher draft, 29 September 2026. Week 9 builds a small Science evidence display from genuine source-labelled questions, predictions, actions and observations when those school records exist. Week 10 asks what a prediction can actually be compared with, what remains unobserved, and what safe question to teach next. This complements the Week 9 maths display and Week 10 integrated reflection without treating made-up card counts or a portfolio choice as proof of a Science investigation.

Start with ten timed 25-minute scripts, complete original sources and real-record gate, thirty same-target routes, twenty worked varied swaps, fresh Days 45/50 teacher-held checks and separate key. The ten optional family conversations need no purchase, test, photo or upload. Six original A4 SVG/PDF aids: source-gate / PDF, evidence-display / PDF, compare-records / PDF, fictional-notebook / PDF, next-question / PDF, handover / PDF. Exact text and tactile alternatives work without printer/device.

Before children arrive: retrieve approved private actual Science logs with date/source/method/access/prompt, or plan a new safe local observation and label it NEW EVIDENCE. Do not invent an old “before”, a result or listener feedback. If no genuine source exists, write REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE and use the original paper notebook/diagrams for source reasoning only. The handover says NOT OBSERVED where evidence is missing, never “cannot do”. Completed child work stays in school custody.

This concludes the term's daily Science arc after Weeks 1–2, 3–4, 5–6 and 7–8. Exact pinned ACARA v9 rows give conditional partial national alignment; QCAA ACiQ v9 Science is the Queensland Prep entry point. State/local mapping and classroom review remain due.
