Teacher draft · ten distinct 25-minute lessons, Days 101–110. Week 21 investigates a material-composition question: does adding a broad card backing change how a large paper arrow holds its outline during the same gentle adult-controlled lift? Week 22 uses only source-bounded material observations to plan an accessible route marker. The Science inquiry complements the integrated shape-making Week 21 and paper-route Week 22. A paper route or picture of an arrow cannot prove a material bent or that a person found their way.

Use full source texts and safety gate, ten daily scripts, thirty flexible same-target routes, twenty worked swaps, and ten optional family bridges. Keep the public Day 105 and 110 fresh checks out of teaching until each child's first independent response; their keys are separate. See the exact national/Queensland crosswalk, source and rights ledger, and desk QA.

Evidence and access rule

An actual property observation requires a school-approved, adult-prepared and actually performed lift, with local date, both arrow constructions, same grip/support/action, raw observations and interruptions. If that cannot occur, write REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE and use the complete FICTIONAL MODEL only for method/source reasoning. A neutral ADULT REPORT stays attributed and is not the child's own direct sensory observation. Shape-art products and maths maps remain their own evidence streams. Do not claim that a backed arrow always stays flatter, that a particular child used a route successfully, or that anyone improved from paper data.

Adults pre-cut large blunt-corner arrows; paper and card are clean, familiar, locally approved, and securely joined on the backed version. No small pieces, exposed staples, loose adhesive, unknown/allergenic material, strong bending, launch, climbing, sharp tool or forced touch/hearing/vision. The trial can be omitted. A child may speak, sign, point, use AAC, direct an adult, hear an attributed report, inspect a secured broad tactile diagram or use the labelled model. These are flexible routes, not fixed learning styles. Any actual classroom route-marker trial needs separate approval, bounded supervision and privacy; no public map of a child's location.
