Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.
Goal: pose one observable surface question and record a prediction before any genuine result. Proposed codes: AC9SFU03, AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01. Prepare: D setup paragraph only, question mat, Card 111.
Source label · 3 min. Mark D FICTIONAL MODEL. Record whether a locally approved actual source could be offered; otherwise REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
Read setup · 4 min. Read D only through the two dry surfaces and planned one-drop action, not its after entries.
Model question · 5 min. Adult asks “What visible mark might appear after the same short wait on each surface?” and models a possible prior prediction, not a fact.
Child try · 7 min. Card 111 routes ask/select a question and prediction before the result is shown; adult records exact words/order and model/actual plan.
Check · 4 min. Ask whether “paper absorbs it” is already observed before any drop. Child changes it to a prediction or unknown.
Exit · 2 min. Preserve question/prediction separate from later evidence.
