Twenty worked optional context swaps · all model or…Foundation Science · T2 W17–18 · Optional Practice

These original examples are fictional representations or future source plans, not sightings. They are optional extra turns after teaching, not the held cases. A real source requires its own approval, date, view/access and image rights where relevant. No family outing, animal handling, chasing, feeding, upload, species guess or purchase is requested.

Day 81

1. Library cover sketch: A paper outline has two long side marks. Worked report: “I can describe the drawing, not say a real animal has those features.”
2. School-window plan: A teacher proposes a safe distant view tomorrow. Worked report: “This is a plan; no animal appeared yet, so result is NOT OBSERVED.”

Day 82

1. Museum-poster crop: A drawn body extends beyond a square border. Worked report: “The edge leaves part outside; it does not prove a feature absent from an actual animal.”
2. Book-page zoom: A fictional close view shows only an eye-like mark. Worked report: “The mark is visible in the invented page; the rest of the figure is UNKNOWN to this frame.”

Day 83

1. Undated web thumbnail: No creator or licence is supplied. Worked report: “Do not use as a real photo source until rights and provenance are checked.”
2. School-approved image plan: Teacher may select a licensed dated animal image. Worked report: “Record creator/source/licence/crop and a depicted feature, never school presence.”

Day 84

1. Two prints of one invented sketch: One is enlarged. Worked report: “Two prints remain one drawing subject; do not count two animals.”
2. Two different real-photo source IDs: Teacher proposes a pair but has not checked rights. Worked report: “Identity and rights remain pending; no real grouping yet.”

Day 85

1. Festival mascot crop: An invented outline has a side mark beyond the border. Worked report: “Out of frame means not shown, not absent from a real organism.”
2. Toy-box picture: The edge hides a leg-like mark of a cartoon. Worked report: “This is a cartoon representation; no local animal observation occurred.”

Day 86

1. Courtyard visit plan: School-approved safe view is cancelled by heat. Worked report: “Record NOT SEEN TODAY; a paper substitute is not an outdoor animal encounter.”
2. Window watch possibility: An animal may or may not be visible from an approved quiet window. Worked report: “Only record exact actual feature/date if one appears; never lure it.”

Day 87

1. Imagined animal label: A decorative poster says “fast runner.” Worked report: “An appearance label cannot prove real speed or behaviour.”
2. Verified image possibility: A school-approved real image clearly depicts a broad external mark. Worked report: “Name the exact visible depicted mark and PHOTO source; locality remains unknown.”

Day 88

1. Three craft creatures: Paper outlines have long/short/not-shown side marks. Worked report: “Group craft drawings only; this is not real animal classification.”
2. Two source IDs, one animal: Two licensed views share a documented subject ID. Worked report: “This is one subject, so two-animal grouping is NOT OBSERVED.”

Day 89

1. Exhibition caption: “All animals of this kind have tails” follows one picture. Worked report: “One image cannot support a universal claim; name visible feature and limit.”
2. Private teacher explanation plan: Child chooses an approved real PHOTO source. Worked report: “Say what is depicted with PHOTO/provenance and one unknown; do not invent listener feedback.”

Day 90

1. Transport-map animal icons: Two icons differ in outline. Worked report: “We can sort symbols, not infer actual animal features or location.”
2. Future school-source plan: Teacher seeks two distinct approved real views. Worked report: “Until each source/date/rights/feature is checked, animal grouping remains NOT OBSERVED.”
