# Learner choice cards · same Science goal, Days 121–130

Offer any route on any day, combine them, or pause. These are access choices, **not labels for a child or fixed learning styles**. Adult reads all source labels literally; signs/AAC vocabulary can be prepared locally with the learner's usual system. Broad secured pieces only, no loose small parts. A paper model is always named FICTIONAL MODEL. An adult-described real event is ADULT REPORT, not the child's direct sense. Actual action requires the [adult safety gate](MATERIALS.md). For check days, use these practice routes **after** the first independent response.

## Day 121 · Three pictured positions

- **A · see/mark:** Place broad numbered 1–2–3 frames beside F; draw a small square in left, centre, right and circle the blank space between frames.
- **B · hear/say:** Hear F read without path words; say or dictate START, MIDDLE, FINISH and finish “The pictures do not show whether it paused.”
- **C · choose/direct:** Select fixed START/MIDDLE/FINISH AAC or tactile labels in order; direct an adult to leave the connecting strip empty, then select UNKNOWN PATH.

## Day 122 · Two possible routes

- **A · see/trace:** Trace G's solid horizontal line with a pencil, then its dashed upper bends; point to all three stations on both.
- **B · hear/say:** Hear the solid route, then the dashed route described; answer “Both fit the same stills; neither was observed.”
- **C · choose/direct:** Choose two secured raised line cards, straight and bent, under the same three fixed station tabs; signal MODEL twice.

## Day 123 · Question and prediction first

- **A · see/write:** Mark the proposed START and MIDDLE positions on the plan and finish “Before a real try, I think the pad might …”.
- **B · hear/say:** Ask “Will there be a pause at MIDDLE?” or a child-chosen visible path question; dictate a *possible* prediction before results.
- **C · choose/direct:** Use broad fixed QUESTION / PREDICTION / NO PREDICTION options; choose one observable path cue and direct the adult to timestamp/order it.

## Day 124 · Source of a whole path

- **A · see/mark:** If a real approved event occurs and is directly seen, draw only the path actually seen on the blank record; mark an obscured portion PATH NOT SEEN. Otherwise label the paper MODEL.
- **B · hear/say:** Describe own genuine direct access if it occurred, or repeat a neutral attributed ADULT REPORT with the adult named; if paper-only, say REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
- **C · choose/direct:** Select actual DIRECT / ADULT REPORT / MODEL source card, then START / TURN / STOP / HIDDEN / NOT RUN as appropriate; an adult writes exact selected order.

## Day 125 · Practise source limits after the check

- **A · see/mark:** Use a fresh blank three-box strip; put an invented circle at three stations and leave the joining route blank.
- **B · hear/say:** Hear “circle at left, centre, right”; say what those words reveal and what they leave unknown.
- **C · choose/direct:** Place fixed circle symbols in three frames; choose either PATH KNOWN or PATH UNKNOWN and state why.

## Day 126 · Exact model log

- **A · see/mark:** Underline H's STOPPED THERE and turn wording; mark the separate line-contact statement NOT SEEN.
- **B · hear/say:** Hear H's two sentences in order; retell one explicitly stated event and one hidden detail while naming MODEL.
- **C · choose/direct:** Choose fixed MODEL / STOP / TURN / LINE CONTACT UNKNOWN strips; direct an adult to put last strip under UNKNOWN.

## Day 127 · Prediction comparison

- **A · see/mark:** Put genuine earlier prediction left and genuine observed result right if both exist; draw SAME / DIFFERENT / UNCLEAR. Otherwise write CANNOT COMPARE.
- **B · hear/say:** Dictate “My earlier prediction was …; I directly saw …” only when both are true; else explain the missing source/order.
- **C · choose/direct:** Use broad PRIOR / RESULT / MISSING tabs and SAME / DIFFERENT / UNCLEAR / CANNOT COMPARE choices; adult records source and timing.

## Day 128 · Preserve raw attempts

- **A · see/mark:** Draw TRY 1 and TRY 2 separately only where genuine results exist; put INTERRUPTED or NOT RUN on unused rows.
- **B · hear/say:** Hear the actual two raw adult notes or G's two *possible fictional* traces; tell the adult which are events, which are drawings and whether a cause is known.
- **C · choose/direct:** Select two broad fixed row statuses VALID / INTERRUPTED / NOT RUN; choose ACTION CHANGED if an adult chose a new hand route.

## Day 129 · Bounded share

- **A · see/mark:** Fill the source, one supported fact and one unknown in the claim/listener mat; show privately.
- **B · hear/say:** Tell a chosen adult “This source is …; it shows …; it does not show …”; ask one safe next question.
- **C · choose/direct:** Sequence fixed SOURCE / EVIDENCE / UNKNOWN / NEXT QUESTION AAC or tactile strips; direct the adult to voice exact selections, then record whether anyone actually responded.

## Day 130 · Practise a second source after the check

- **A · see/mark:** On a new empty four-station diagram, show two known points and leave a covered interval blank rather than drawing a guessed path.
- **B · hear/say:** Hear “start and end were seen; the middle was hidden”; state only those positions and ask for a clear approved view.
- **C · choose/direct:** Put a broad opaque HIDDEN card between fixed START and FINISH cards; choose CAUSE UNKNOWN and an adult-approved next source.

Record exact first words, signs, selected symbols, prompts and source type in the school's private system. Different communication modes can show the same reasoning; none is evidence of an actual direct sensory investigation unless the source/action/access requirements were genuinely met.
