# Foundation / Prep Science · ten 25-minute scripts, Days 81–90

Read [safe animal-source gate and complete original fictional texts](MATERIALS.md) before teaching. Each day totals **3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 2 = 25 minutes**. [Three same-target routes](LEARNER-CARDS.md) are flexible access supports, not fixed learner styles; [two worked swaps/day](OPTIONAL-PRACTICE.md) are optional extra examples. No animal is chased, lured, fed, touched, assumed present or named by guess. A verified real photograph is PHOTO evidence of depicted features, not a local live encounter. A live observation is possible only with safe school approval and an animal genuinely appearing. If neither genuine source exists, write **REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE** and use labelled fiction for source reasoning only. Neutral adult description stays **ADULT REPORT**, not direct child sight. Keep [Days 85/90 fresh checks](ASSESSMENT.md) teacher-held until first independent response; [keys](TEACHER-KEY.md) are separate. Family bridges are optional.

## Week 17 · Day 81 — Which source is an animal observation?

**Goal:** distinguish invented animal-like drawing, safe actual distant view and provenance-checked real photo. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01, AC9SFI05. **Prepare:** Model A and [safe-source](safe-source.svg), optional approved real source, Card 81.

1. **Source label · 3 min.** Mark A FICTIONAL MODEL. If a real approved source exists, record its type and date separately; otherwise REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
2. **Read · 4 min.** Read A completely; child names one mark in a drawing without inferring species, behaviour or a local animal.
3. **Model · 5 min.** Teacher says, “I can describe this paper outline. A real view or verified photo would let me describe a depicted external feature.” Explain PHOTO is mediated, not live here.
4. **Child try · 7 min.** Card 81 routes sort MODEL / DIRECT / PHOTO / ADULT REPORT source labels and ask one safe real-feature question.
5. **Check · 4 min.** Offer “The drawn tail means this animal visited our school.” Child corrects drawing and location claim.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Save exact question and source type, not an invented sighting.

## Week 17 · Day 82 — What does a close frame hide?

**Goal:** identify visible versus outside-frame marks without concluding a real feature is absent. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFH01, AC9SFI03, AC9SFI05. **Prepare:** [frame-model](frame-model.svg), Model A/B, Card 82.

1. **Source · 3 min.** Label A/B invented. No camera, child photo or animal is required.
2. **Compare · 4 min.** Read WIDE then CLOSE; CLOSE shows body/ear-like marks but hides leg/tail-like marks outside borders.
3. **Model · 5 min.** Teacher reads B's correction: “not shown in this frame” is different from “not part of the animal.” B is fictional dialogue, not actual class feedback.
4. **Child try · 7 min.** Card 82 routes say one CLOSE fact, one WIDE fact and what a CLOSE-only viewer cannot know. Raised wide/close borders are models.
5. **Check · 4 min.** Ask “May I call the cropped image a tailless real animal?” Child names crop and source limit.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Record source-bounded statement; no real external-feature credit from A.

## Week 17 · Day 83 — Can a real photo be used responsibly?

**Goal:** distinguish a provenance-checked real PHOTO from an invented drawing and keep a depicted feature separate from local presence. The adult handles creator/rights checks. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01, AC9SFI03. **Prepare:** blank [feature-record](feature-record.svg), source category cards; optional school-selected real animal image only after rights/provenance preflight, Card 83.

1. **Rights gate · 3 min.** Adult checks creator/source/licence and date/viewed date, privacy and crop. If missing, do not show/use image; choose Model A.
2. **Read · 4 min.** Identify PHOTO versus invented drawing. Name what part of an image is actually visible; do not infer behaviour, species or school locality.
3. **Model · 5 min.** Teacher writes “PHOTO of depicted animal, source/date, visible feature, outside-crop UNKNOWN”. A caption alone is not proof of every feature.
4. **Child try · 7 min.** Card 83 routes identify PHOTO or MODEL, record one actually visible depicted feature if a verified photo is available, and name a crop unknown. Otherwise describe one invented A mark as MODEL and leave real feature NOT OBSERVED. Adult adds provenance metadata.
5. **Check · 4 min.** Offer “This photo means the animal is in our courtyard.” Child separates depicted animal source from location.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Keep photo provenance with private school record; no image copied into public pack.

## Week 17 · Day 84 — Are two views two animals?

**Goal:** determine whether A/B records show same subject, distinct subjects or unknown, before comparing external features. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFU01, AC9SFI03, AC9SFI05. **Prepare:** [source-compare](source-compare.svg), two optional genuine rights-cleared photo/source records or invented Model A two frames, Card 84.

1. **Identity gate · 3 min.** Check source IDs/dates/rights for any real photos; do not call two crops two animals. Model A is one invented figure.
2. **Read · 4 min.** Put WIDE/CLOSE A together and name SAME DRAWING, then show source ID fields needed for real pair.
3. **Model · 5 min.** Teacher fills SAME SUBJECT / DISTINCT / UNKNOWN. If real identity cannot be established, say UNKNOWN rather than guessing from appearance.
4. **Child try · 7 min.** Card 84 routes classify pair and name one visible mark/feature per actual source when supported; otherwise compare only drawings.
5. **Check · 4 min.** “Two views means two animals” is corrected with source identity and crop limits.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Save cautious source-pair decision; grouping remains for later actual distinct subjects.

## Week 17 · Day 85 — Fresh frame-and-source check

**Goal:** independently interpret a novel cropped model, bound its claim and name a genuine source needed. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01, AC9SFI03, AC9SFI05. **Prepare:** [teacher-held Day 85 card](ASSESSMENT.md), blank [feature-record](feature-record.svg), Card 85 only **after** response.

1. **Preflight · 3 min.** Teacher checks unseen case/read-aloud/broad tactile route; no real animal is represented as present.
2. **Prompt · 4 min.** Give complete source once with FICTIONAL label.
3. **Think · 5 min.** Allow independent response time; neutral reread is logged, no answer cue.
4. **First independent response · 7 min.** Child identifies shown versus cropped marks, source type, one unknown and safe next source; save exact wording/support before feedback.
5. **Bound · 4 min.** Ask what safe approved actual distant view or verified PHOTO would establish a depicted external feature. Paper-only stays REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
6. **Close · 2 min.** Use [separate key](TEACHER-KEY.md) for next teaching move; practice Card 85 can follow later.

## Week 18 · Day 86 — Look from a safe shared-place boundary

**Goal:** attempt a safe genuine animal view only if approved and an animal actually appears; record not-seen honestly. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFH01, AC9SFI02, AC9SFI03. **Prepare:** local outdoor/window permission and route check, [safe-source](safe-source.svg), Model A fallback, Card 86.

1. **Site gate · 3 min.** Adult checks school permission, weather/heat/access, boundary and stop signal; no chasing/feed/touch. If unsafe, stay inside and mark live view NOT OBSERVED.
2. **Question · 4 min.** Ask what visible external feature a distant real view could show. Do not promise an animal appears.
3. **Observe · 5 min.** From permitted place, quietly look if welcome. If an animal genuinely appears, note local date/time/view/access; if none, write NOT SEEN TODAY. No photograph needed.
4. **Child record · 7 min.** Card 86 routes record one actually visible feature or NOT SEEN TODAY, with DIRECT/ADULT REPORT and exact prompt. A teacher-supplied verified PHOTO is separately labelled, not a live visit.
5. **Check · 4 min.** Ask whether an invented route drawing or paper A fills a missing real sighting. Child names source boundary.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Return via approved route; hazard/animal care stays with adult school procedure.

## Week 18 · Day 87 — Describe only the external feature seen

**Goal:** make one precise source-bounded external-feature description without species or behaviour inference. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFU01, AC9SFI02, AC9SFI03. **Prepare:** genuine approved Day 86 record or school-approved rights-cleared real animal PHOTO if available, [feature-record](feature-record.svg), Card 87.

1. **Source gate · 3 min.** Confirm actual animal/view/date or verified PHOTO/provenance. If neither, MODEL ONLY and real feature NOT OBSERVED.
2. **Notice · 4 min.** Re-read exact visible external feature; do not name species, sex, mood, habitat or reason for presence from appearance.
3. **Model · 5 min.** Teacher distinguishes “this source shows a long visible tail” if actually supported from “this animal always has …” or “it lives here”.
4. **Child try · 7 min.** Card 87 routes draw/point/dictate/AAC one exact externally visible feature, source/access and one hidden/unknown area. If only A, describe invented marks with MODEL.
5. **Check · 4 min.** Offer “The picture shows a wing-like mark so this animal can fly.” Child separates appearance from unobserved behaviour.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Save precise claim and unknown, no invented species ID.

## Week 18 · Day 88 — Group two distinct genuine animal sources

**Goal:** build a tentative rule from a visible external feature on two verified distinct real animal subjects, or label a drawing-only group. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFU01, AC9SFI02, AC9SFI03. **Prepare:** two approved distinct safe live/photo animal source records if available, Model C, [two-animal](two-animal.svg), Card 88.

1. **Pair gate · 3 min.** Confirm two distinct real subjects with separate source/date/view/access and photo rights if relevant. Two views of one subject or uncertain IDs mean grouping NOT OBSERVED.
2. **Read · 4 min.** Name an actually visible external feature in each real source; if unavailable, read invented C marks as drawings only.
3. **Model · 5 min.** Teacher groups C drawings by long/short/not-shown side marks and explicitly says this is *paper* grouping, not animal classification.
4. **Child try · 7 min.** Card 88 routes state one child-chosen rule for actual two-source features if supported, place A/B and identify UNKNOWN. Two sources give first attempt, not universal rule.
5. **Check · 4 min.** Ask whether “not shown in crop” proves a real animal lacks that feature. Child keeps hidden unknown.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Save actual partial grouping or MODEL ONLY; no Country/Place or ecological claim.

## Week 18 · Day 89 — Share a claim that the source can carry

**Goal:** communicate source, one visible feature or rule, and one limit to a chosen private audience. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFH01, AC9SFI03, AC9SFI05. **Prepare:** [explain-limit](explain-limit.svg), actual dated private source if present or Model C, Card 89.

1. **Source/privacy · 3 min.** Choose a genuine source with rights or C MODEL; teacher audience is enough. No child/place image is uploaded.
2. **Re-read · 4 min.** Find exact view/crop/date/access and feature, or C's invented marks.
3. **Rehearse · 5 min.** Teacher models “In this source I can see … ; I cannot tell … ; a safe next source could … .”
4. **Child share · 7 min.** Card 89 routes speak, sign, AAC, point or direct adult voice for same bounded claim; record actual words/prompt.
5. **Feedback · 4 min.** Record listener response only if it truly occurs; otherwise NO ACTUAL LISTENER RESPONSE. Revise claim from source review if needed.
6. **Exit · 2 min.** Teacher notes next safe animal-source opportunity, not assumed learning gain.

## Week 18 · Day 90 — Fresh two-source grouping check

**Goal:** independently test source identity, crop and grouping boundaries in a new model pair, then propose genuine evidence. **Proposed codes:** AC9SFU01, AC9SFI01, AC9SFI03, AC9SFI05. **Prepare:** [teacher-held Day 90 card](ASSESSMENT.md), blank [two-animal](two-animal.svg), Card 90 only after first response.

1. **Preflight · 3 min.** Teacher checks unseen case and exact access equivalents; no local species/source is invented.
2. **Prompt · 4 min.** Give complete new paper case once with MODEL label.
3. **Think · 5 min.** Independent time, neutral logged reread only.
4. **First independent response · 7 min.** Child identifies same/distinct/unknown subjects, visible/cropped marks, a paper grouping rule and the real animal claim still missing; capture exact response/access first.
5. **Bound · 4 min.** Ask for two genuine distinct safe sources with rights/date/access and one visible-feature rule; if absent, REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
6. **Close · 2 min.** Use [separate key](TEACHER-KEY.md). One check cannot certify Foundation Science or local wildlife knowledge.
