Learner choices

Goal: sequence exact visible states and adult action without asserting an unseen mechanism. Proposed codes: AC9SFU03, AC9SFI02 (actual only), AC9SFI03. Prepare: three-moment mat, school-approved actual setup if genuinely available or D, Card 113.

Choose source · 3 min. Mark ACTUAL/local date/approval/materials if the adult truly runs the event, or D MODEL with REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
Before · 4 min. Record only what the actual observer can see before action, or D's “no visible wet mark” as model text.
During · 5 min. Adult places safe tiny drops under approved conditions, or reads D's imagined action; record who did it and any interruption.
After · 7 min. Following the same real wait or D's described pretend wait, Card 113 routes record exact visible mark/drop on each surface, plus source/access.
Check · 4 min. Ask “Did you see water move inside the paper?” Child says only the visible mark was recorded; destination unknown.
Exit · 2 min. Keep before/action/after separate and any spill in adult procedure, not classroom inquiry.
