Optional family… | Foundation Science · T3 W21–22 · Family Optional

These are not homework. No family needs to buy supplies, make signs, lift objects, test a route, photograph a child, collect data, translate or report back. A child may imagine a large paper arrow, listen, use AAC, draw, think privately or decline. Missing participation never affects assessment. Any family story about a real material or route remains attributed family report unless a separate locally approved dated school source is obtained; it is not silently converted to the child's direct Science observation.

Day	Optional short invitation
101	“What question might you ask before trying a pretend paper arrow?”
102	“A pretend sign has paper and card. What materials can you name?”
103	“What would you keep the same in a make-believe gentle lift?”
104	“If two pretend tries differ, what exact marks would you say?”
105	“Why might a changed grip make a paper comparison hard?” Use no held case.
106	“Does a picture of a sign show that a person followed it?”
107	“Which pretend mark supports your sentence?”
