Teacher draft, 29 September 2026. Week 13 asks, “What can we actually see from this view?” Children prepare a safe, dated, repeatable view of a school-approved plant and distinguish hidden from absent. Week 14 asks, “What can looking again tell us?” Children revisit the same feature and viewpoint, then cautiously compare two approved real plants when available. This develops the integrated Week 14 plant revisit with daily Science observation records. The Week 13 family story remains HASS/English; it is not a source of Science plant evidence. Earlier Science Weeks 5–6 introduced source and living-feature grouping; this pack adds viewpoint and repeat-observation reliability.

Open ten distinct 25-minute scripts, safe real-source gate and complete fictional teaching sources, 30 same-target routes, 20 worked optional swaps, ten optional family conversations, and two fresh teacher-held checks with separate keys. Six original one-page A4 SVG/PDF aids and exact text/tactile alternatives are supplied:

Aid PDF Use
Safe plant view PDF Site and access preflight
Viewpoint model PDF Fictional visible versus hidden marks
First observation PDF Source, date, view, exact feature
Repeat observation PDF Same plant/feature/view across dates
Two-plant comparison PDF Actual visible-feature grouping with limits
Share and next PDF Claim, source and next safe question

Before any real observation: choose a school-approved, known safe plant/viewing position; check weather, access, allergy and local site rules. No touching, smelling, tasting, collecting, unknown identification, child photo or upload. Record actual plant identity privately, local date/time, viewpoint, accessible route, exact visible feature, adult prompt and uncertainty. A plant may look the same across days. If no genuine approved living source exists, write REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE and use the original paper models for source reasoning only. Do not invent a past view, growth, flower, species or child response.

Exact pinned ACARA v9/QCAA crosswalk, source/rights ledger, teacher/child/assessor/funder desk QA and deterministic verifier/hash receipt show what was checked. Proposed national links are partial and conditional; local school and classroom review remain due. Original SubjectNest words, diagrams and aids © 2026 NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd, CC BY 4.0.
