Twenty worked swaps · choose, do not assign as extra workFoundation Science · T3 W25–26 · Optional Practice

Each pair offers a fresh domain and one short worked teacher response. They are optional FICTIONAL MODELS unless an explicitly described approved local event actually occurs, is dated and is recorded separately. The imagined outcomes below are never local results. Use one to reteach or extend the daily goal; a child need not complete both. For check days, use these after the first independent response so the new check remains fresh.

Day 121

1. Library book trolley picture model. Three drawn positions show a large trolley symbol at shelf, centre aisle and return desk; no connecting trace. Worked report: “The pictures show three trolley positions, but not whether the imagined trolley paused or went around a corner.”
2. Garden mat picture model. A broad mat symbol appears beside a seed tray, between benches and near the gate in three invented frames. Worked report: “This is an ordered paper story; no real mat or route has been observed.”

Day 122

1. Museum parcel model. A drawn parcel visits display A, central table and display B; one line is straight and one bends by a blank wall. Worked report: “Both drawn lines fit the same three stations. A real parcel route would need an actual source.”
2. Community hall banner model. Three stills show one banner symbol left, middle and right; a dotted route curves high while a solid route stays low. Worked report: “The stills alone do not choose dotted or solid; both are paper possibilities.”

Day 123

1. Art-room folder question model. A large folder symbol begins on one table and ends on another with no recorded movement. Worked report: “Ask ‘Did it turn at the corner?’ before any approved real observation; ‘it turned’ is not yet a result.”
2. Post-office sorting table model. A broad parcel icon has a START and MIDDLE position but no event. Worked report: “A valid prediction is ‘I think it might stop at MIDDLE’, recorded before a future event, not inferred from the final icon.”

Day 124

1. School-approved pad event, only if actually run. An adult genuinely moves the confirmed large pad after the gate; local path is unknown until observed. Worked report: “Write exact local date, adult action and the child's directly accessed path or attributed report; there is no fixed result to copy from this page.”
2. Theatre prop paper model. A broad stage prop is drawn behind a paper screen at START and FINISH; middle action is hidden. Worked report: “Record PATH NOT SEEN for the middle, not an invented straight line.”

Day 125

1. After-check bakery tray model. Three invented pictures put a large tray at left, centre and right of a counter. Worked report: “Name those positions; whether the tray stopped or changed direction is unknown from stills.”
2. After-check bus map model. A big bus symbol appears at three stops in a made-up map, with no trace or timetable. Worked report: “The map does not show the exact road taken or how long the imagined bus waited.”

Day 126

1. Sports-equipment shed note model. A fictional observer writes that a large soft block slid, paused, then turned; a screen hides the final edge. Worked report: “Repeat the stated slide/pause/turn as MODEL and keep the final hidden edge UNKNOWN.”
2. Health-clinic trolley note model. An invented record says a broad trolley symbol reached a doorway, but the observer stood behind a curtain. Worked report: “The invented endpoint is reported; the exact hidden approach cannot be claimed.”

Day 127

1. School hall sign model. A fictional learner wrote “might turn” before an invented route log that says “went straight”. Worked report: “Within this MODEL, prior prediction and later described route differ; it is not the child's real class result.”
2. Workshop panel model. The invented prediction card was written after the drawn endpoint was shown. Worked report: “This is an after-result thought, so mark NO PRIOR PREDICTION; do not score it as a comparison.”

Day 128

1. Food-bank crate drawing model. One invented trace goes straight; a second turns because the pretend adult deliberately guides a bend. Worked report: “These are two drawn routes with a changed adult action; they cannot show the crate material caused the bend.”
2. Classroom display model. A pretend path is partly covered by a card on try 2. Worked report: “Keep try 1's drawn trace and mark try 2 PATH NOT SEEN / INTERRUPTED as the prompt requires; never fill the cover with a guessed line.”

Day 129

1. Tool-library poster model. A display says an imaginary square definitely travelled straight because it is fabric, although only three still positions appear. Worked report: “The poster can name positions; the route and material cause are not shown.”
2. School art show model. A child-directed caption points to a solid possible route and says “This is one way the pictured shape might have gone.” Worked report: “This is a careful possibility, labelled MODEL, not a real motion result or audience response.”

Day 130

1. After-check ferry-terminal drawing model. A large luggage symbol appears at START and FINISH; the middle panel is blank. Worked report: “Only the two positions are given. Ask what a safe, actual full-path record would need.”
2. After-check science-museum display model. An invented full-path video description is cited without source date or permission, and a caption claims all square objects move alike. Worked report: “A future verified source could support one bounded event; it cannot justify a rule about every square object.”

The domains are intentionally varied; no one family's job, home, culture, access device or transport use is assumed. An actual local example replaces its fictional counterpart only with school approval, a dated direct/attributed record, consent and raw outcome.
