Goal: distinguish a school-approved dated real plant view from a plant-like paper model; ask a safe observation question. Proposed codes: AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01, AC9SFI02. Prepare: safe-view, Model F, adult-approved plant/view if available, Card 61.
- Source gate · 3 min. Adult identifies the actual known safe plant/view privately with local date and access; otherwise writes REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE. No touch, smell, taste or collection.
- Read · 4 min. Read F's full FICTIONAL label. Child identifies drawn stem-like and oval marks without naming species or claiming local leaves.
- Model · 5 min. Teacher contrasts “I can read this paper mark” with “I can observe this approved plant from our marked place today.” Point out actual versus MODEL source labels.
- Child try · 7 min. Card 61 asks each child to pose one safe question about an exact visible external feature, or, with paper only, one question a genuine approved plant view could answer.
- Check · 4 min. Offer “The invented oval proves our plant has three leaves.” Child names missing real source/date and corrects the claim.
- Exit · 2 min. Save question, source label and chosen access route; no invented result.
