Goal: state a simple external-feature rule based on two approved real plant views when available; keep drawing groups separate. Proposed codes: AC9SFU01, AC9SFI02, AC9SFI03. Prepare: approved safe Plant A/B views (or Model H), two-plant, Card 68.

  1. Sources · 3 min. Adult confirms each actual plant/view/date/approval and access; if no second source, mark AC9SFU01 grouping NOT OBSERVED and use H as paper practice.
  2. Notice · 4 min. Read one actually visible external feature for each source. A feature hidden by view is UNKNOWN, not absent from a plant.
  3. Model · 5 min. Teacher groups H's smooth/jagged drawings as drawings only; no real species or plant feature is inferred.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Card 68 routes state a rule such as “visible smooth-edge outlines in today's view” only if actual external features support it; record A/B source, dates, access and uncertainty.
  5. Check · 4 min. Ask if two plants prove “all plants with this edge grow together.” Child limits the claim to observed sources/views.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save first grouping attempt or MODEL ONLY; animals remain outside this pack's evidence.
