Twenty worked optional swaps · varied domains, same…Foundation Science · T2 W13–14 · Optional Practice

These are fictional paper cases or conditional plans, not reports of actual local plants. They are optional extra turns after the daily lesson, not the held checks. If an approved real source is used, record its actual date/view/access and exact result separately. No child needs to read print independently, touch a plant, visit home gardens or purchase anything.

Day 61

1. Library poster drawing: A poster has a stem-like line and two oval shapes. Worked report: “I can describe marks on a poster; I need a safe real dated plant view for a plant feature claim.”
2. Bus-stop planter plan: A teacher considers a known school-approved planter visible from a safe route. Worked report: “Check local permission/access/weather first; its name and feature are UNKNOWN until genuinely viewed.”

Day 62

1. Classroom paper sculpture: A craft plant has a zigzag paper edge. Worked report: “The sculpture's edge is zigzag; that is not a living plant observation.”
2. School-courtyard candidate: A known approved plant may be observed from a fixed mark. Worked report: “After a real view record local date, mark and exact feature; without it write NOT OBSERVED.”

Day 63

1. Museum display sketch: One large oval outline sits behind a drawn sign. Worked report: “The oval is not visible from this drawn angle; the sketch cannot tell if a real leaf is absent.”
2. Picture-book crop: A page cuts off the top of a plant-like drawing. Worked report: “The top is outside the crop; no claim about a real plant's top is supported.”

Day 64

1. Window-view plan: A fixed approved viewing spot could be marked at school. Worked report: “For a later actual comparison I would record same source, spot, feature and each date.”
2. Craft-notebook plan: One paper page is labelled FRONT and another SIDE. Worked report: “Different viewpoint makes a biological change claim unsupported, even if the drawings differ.”

Day 65

1. Theatre prop sketch: A large cardboard leaf-like mark is partly behind a curtain. Worked report: “The visible part is a mark; hidden does not mean disappeared from a real plant.”
2. Community-sign drawing: A plant-like outline has a covered corner. Worked report: “Ask for an approved real source if the question is about living features; this sign alone is MODEL.”

Day 66

1. Indoor-approved plant plan: A teacher has two genuine safe dated views from one marked position. Worked report: “Compare the same visible feature; ‘looks the same’ may be accurate.”
2. Weather closure: The school-approved view is unavailable today. Worked report: “Write NOT OBSERVED TODAY; do not fill a hoped-for leaf result.”

Day 67

1. Art-page scale change: Yesterday's drawn oval is small, today's is large on bigger paper. Worked report: “Drawing size alone cannot prove a real plant grew.”
2. Real-source prediction plan: A prediction about a visible feature was recorded before a later approved view. Worked report: “Read exact earlier words and later dated observation; compare only those genuine records.”

Day 68

1. Two fabric decorations: A smooth-edged cloth leaf and a jagged cloth leaf sit on a mat. Worked report: “I may group craft shapes, not claim two real plants have those features.”
2. Two approved school plants: Adult has two actual safe dated external-feature views. Worked report: “Name the exact feature seen for A/B and a first grouping rule limited to these views.”

Day 69

1. Exhibition label: A sign says “All plants here have smooth leaves” after one drawing. Worked report: “One invented drawing cannot support all real plants; state the source and limit.”
2. Private teacher note: A child describes one approved dated feature with adult support. Worked report: “Record the exact feature and ADULT REPORT if information came from adult; no invented listener feedback.”

Day 70

1. Map of two viewing places: A drawing shows one plant-like icon from high and low angles. Worked report: “Different drawn angles cannot prove the actual plant changed.”
2. Future-week plan: A teacher schedules another safe view of an approved plant. Worked report: “The plan has a question and future date; actual result remains NOT OBSERVED until genuinely seen.”
