Complete ordinary sources, worked possibilities and next teaching
All C01–C20 are original fiction for ordinary teaching. Their full sources contain every needed clue, including explicit unknowns. Ask for an own idea before opening a worked possibility; the source is freely readable. Worked/next accounts are adult support and remain separate initially closed help in the later source edition. They are not children’s presets, observed outcomes, held first/later sources or official Queensland band statements. No model establishes an actual practical procedure. Every next account below states a complete new teaching invitation and what meaning to observe, with the full referenced ordinary source supplied in this same module.
C01 · The parking picture
Complete source: Original fiction. A broad paper picture starts at a drawn house on a level mat. An adult gives it one gentle push away from the hand toward a nearby star. The picture slides and rests wholly inside the broad parking area around the star. The maker wanted it to rest there. No second try, measured force or player reply is supplied.
Own invitation: Which action helped the picture reach the wanted resting area? What might you ask before a new try?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The adult’s gentle push started motion toward the star; the supplied rest fits this maker’s parking purpose. This one result does not promise the next push or name measured strength. A useful question asks whether a similar short action from the same start will fit again.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C06’s different paper stage-cue purpose. Read the full short move, invite a purpose/effect sentence before a model, and listen for why a short finish can be useful. Record only the actually offered explanation and help.
C02 · A menu nearer the reader
Complete source: Original fiction. A pretend café menu is broad paper on a flat mat. An adult’s hand gently pulls its near edge toward the hand and a drawn reading place. It moves nearer that place, then rests. Another menu at the same original start is gently pushed from its far edge toward the same reading place and also rests nearer it. Strength and whole travelled paths are not measured. No food, drink or real café activity occurs.
Own invitation: What distinguishes the two actions when both finishes are nearer the reading place?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: Pull toward the contacting hand and push away from the hand at the far edge are different contact actions. The shared direction toward a landmark does not itself identify push or pull. No strength/distance ranking follows from “nearer”.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C03’s two star-bound moves with contact words kept beside the hand marks. Invite the child to explain one action and point/direct its contact side; observe whether the source action, rather than destination alone, supports the label.
C03 · The same star, two contact sides
Complete source: Original fiction. One paper game piece rests at a drawn house. An adult hand beyond it gently pulls the piece toward that hand and the nearby star. After a reset, a hand behind the piece gently pushes it away from that hand toward the same star. Both recorded finishes are nearer the star. No exact force, equal travel distance or complete path is supplied.
Own invitation: Give one clear action instruction for either move. What does the shared finish leave unknown?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: A supported instruction names the contacting side, pull toward that hand or push away from it, and the star landmark. Both finishes can fit the given direction while exact distance and strength remain unknown. A shared finish is not proof of equal actions.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C02’s menu record as a new context. Let the child choose which hand position serves the reading-place purpose, then hear a contact/action explanation. A faithful helper can mark the selected hand; this is not actual motor-operation evidence.
C04 · A slow piece turns
Complete source: Original fiction. A broad card is already sliding slowly toward a drawn star. An adult gently contacts its right edge and pushes toward a nearby drawn square. The record says its direction changes toward the square and it then comes to rest. Its full curved path, contact strength and travel distance are not recorded. No child performed the action.
Own invitation: What changed in motion? What would make an instruction about the contact clearer?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The supplied adult contact changes the motion’s direction from toward the star to toward the square, followed by rest. It does not establish an exact path or strength. A clearer instruction can keep right-edge contact and square direction together; no child-operation claim.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C13’s start/action/rest record to separate motion from final stillness. Read all moments and invite one change description. Listen for earlier movement retained despite a still finish, without prompting an invented path.
C05 · The parking game likes a short move
Complete source: Original fiction. Same broad card, level mat, house start, star direction and adult operator. A broad goal area is nearby. Two intended-gentler pushes finish wholly inside that area. Two intended-firmer but still gentle pushes finish beyond it. Each resets to the house; force is unmeasured. The maker’s stated job is resting inside, not travelling farthest. No future attempt is given.
Own invitation: Which recorded action label fits the stated job better here? What is not guaranteed?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The intended-gentler attempts fit this resting-inside job in this record; the farther finishes do not. This is a limited purpose-based choice, not a universal ranking of force, a winner or a guarantee about future tries. The strength labels are intended, not measurements.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C06’s different stage-cue purpose. Invite a supported “useful because” explanation about its short move, then ask whether farther was needed. The actual answer/support guides next teaching; no stronger push is demanded.
C06 · Bring the stage cue into view
Complete source: Original fiction. A paper story cue rests near a drawn door on a clear level mat. An adult gently pulls its near edge toward the hand. It moves a short way and rests near a drawn window, the maker’s wanted reading place. The whole path and strength are not measured. No real stage, window access, performance or reader result occurs.
Own invitation: How does this short move serve the purpose? What remains a useful question?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The supplied pull ends near the wanted reading place; a short move can be enough for this job. A further try or reader-understanding question is open. The finish does not establish the child’s own operation or an actual audience response.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C05’s parking records to show how a stated goal affects a choice. Ask the child to select a finish that fits the goal and explain one reason. Do not award more distance or require all four records to be sorted.
C07 · The labels overlap
Complete source: Original fiction. One adult uses the same broad paper piece, flat mat, start and direction. Intended-gentler attempts end one and two equal drawn spaces from the start. Intended-firmer still-gentle attempts end two and three of those same spaces from the start. All four attempts reset. The force is unmeasured; no later result or exact whole-path length is supplied.
Own invitation: What relation and variation can you show without claiming every firmer-labelled push went farther?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: Gentler results are one/two; firmer are two/three, so the sets overlap at two. These few intended-firmer results are shifted toward farther resting positions, but not every one exceeds every gentler result. Both labels vary and no force number or universal law follows.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C16’s equal finishes with two intended labels. Read the unchanged start/unit/finish givens; ask what they establish about result and what they do not measure about force. Listen for the distinction, not arithmetic or a required fault.
C08 · Two starts and two helpers
Complete source: Original fiction. Helper Ari gives a paper piece an intended-little push from the drawn house; it rests near the star. Helper Bea gives another intended-little push starting already near the star; it rests near the square. The same mat is named, but travel measurements, exact contact strength and matched piece history are not supplied. The chosen question is whether Bea used greater force.
Own invitation: What makes this comparison insufficient for that strength question? Propose one useful matching step.
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The same “little” label does not measure strength, and the starting positions/operators differ. End positions alone do not supply comparable travelled distances or isolate force. A useful new comparison can use one piece/start/direction and one agreeing operator with bounded intended actions, preserving variations.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C07’s four complete same-start/one-operator records. Invite the child to name one relevant match and one remaining unmeasured detail. This different source supports a useful comparison while keeping actual force unknown.
C09 · A rule that names the resting place
Complete source: Original fiction. The paper game’s written rule is “Start at the house. Give one gentle push toward the circle. The job is to rest wholly inside the circle.” An adult follows that action; the card rests wholly inside. No later attempt, score total or different player’s experience is recorded. The circle is a drawing on a level mat.
Own invitation: What does the rule ask the piece to do, and what happened in this try?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The rule names start, a gentle directed push and a resting-inside purpose. This supplied try fits that purpose. It does not mean every push counts, every player understands or a future attempt will fit. A new proposed scoring rule is labelled as a proposal.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C17’s boundary-touching card and incomplete boundary rule. Ask the child to separate the position both reporters describe from the unresolved rule decision. Record a supported distinction; do not invent a winner.
C10 · The invitation is written, the reply is not
Complete source: Original fiction. A maker writes a paper-game invitation: “Start at the house; use one gentle push toward the star; pause whenever you want.” The card has been written. No player has tried it, replied or shown understanding. A second picture beside the words is planned but not made. No real message is sent.
Own invitation: Which things have happened, which are plans, and what could you ask next?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The invitation was written; the second picture remains planned/unmade; player trial/reply/understanding are not supplied. A useful next question could ask a willing reader which instruction is clear, with an actual reply still unknown. No guaranteed usefulness follows from completion.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C18’s different fold-game plan. Read its made/planned/tried limits and invite one honest status label and next question. Listen for an unknown trial kept open rather than treating a proposal as a failure or a success.
C11 · A folded game stand
Complete source: Original fiction. A broad paper piece with an existing fold starts flat on the mat. An adult gently presses along that fold; while pressing, its two sides rise into a bend. After release it remains V-shaped at rest. The maker wants a small paper picture stand. No later stability check, reader reply or uncreased-piece result is given. The star and square drawn on the mat keep the viewpoint fixed.
Own invitation: Describe the shape at each supplied moment and a useful further question.
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: Flat before, bent during the supplied pressing action, V-shaped after release. This piece’s existing fold/history is part of the source. A later rest or different-history question is useful, but no stability guarantee or all-paper claim follows. An adult acted in this fiction.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C12’s cloth moments including an extra arranging act. Invite the child to keep all moments in order and describe what happened after release versus after new contact. No required physical folding or shape vocabulary length.
C12 · Someone lays the cloth flat
Complete source: Original fiction. A familiar broad cloth on a level mat begins flat. An adult gently lifts one edge; it bends while held. After release the edge remains low and bent. The adult then separately lays it flat. This fourth act is recorded. No spontaneous return to flat or exact force measure is supplied. The cloth is an imagined paper-game scenery piece, not a real animal shelter.
Own invitation: Which shape followed release and which followed a new adult act?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The low bend follows release; flatness follows the separate laying-flat act. Deleting the fourth act falsely attributes flattening to release alone. Source reasoning can identify this distinction without an actual cloth trial.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C11’s three paper moments, where no extra arranging act is supplied. Ask which shape is recorded at rest and what a new act would need its own label for. Listen for the source’s actual sequence instead of a universal return rule.
C13 · Moved and bent
Complete source: Original fiction. A broad paper game tab starts flat beside the drawn house. An adult gently presses its folded edge toward the star. The record says the tab shifts nearer the star and that edge bends while pressed. After release it is still nearer the star and the edge remains bent. No exact strength, full travel path or longer resting check is supplied.
Own invitation: Show one motion clue and one shape clue. Does a still finish mean it never moved?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The start/finish relation supports nearer-star movement; the before/during/rest edges support shape change. The still resting finish does not erase the earlier shift. No exact path, cause beyond the given contact/change relation or future stability claim is required.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C04’s slow-turn record, which supplies motion direction but no shape change. Ask which clue is actually supplied for each category; leave absent shape information unknown rather than borrow a motion answer.
C14 · A different history, an open cause
Complete source: Original fiction. Two broad paper tabs have the same outline. TabOne has an earlier fold; TabTwo was uncreased. The same adult describes each short action as a similar gentle press on the same flat mat. TabOne rests bent and TabTwo rests flatter. Exact force/contact duration are not measured and there is one try per tab. Their prior histories differ; no next attempt is supplied.
Own invitation: What differs in the records and what prevents a universal history-only explanation?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The resting shapes and prior fold histories differ. Intended similar actions and outline/mat matches are useful, but exact contact/strength were not measured and there is only one try each. A question about prior history can guide more careful matching; it does not prove history alone caused every outcome.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C15’s deliberately changed material question. Ask what was intended to change, which matches help and which unmeasured detail remains. Listen for a bounded relation instead of “different means unfair” or a universal material rule.
C15 · Two picture gates, one material question
Complete source: Original fiction. A paper piece and clean cloth piece have matched broad outlines, flat starting state, same mat, edge, viewpoint and adult operator. The question concerns their resting bends after the same intended gentle edge lift to the same stated height. Paper rests with a higher bend; cloth rests with a low bend. Exact hand force is unmeasured and each has one attempt. These are fictional game-picture gates, not real structures to support weight.
Own invitation: What was deliberately changed? Name one useful match and one limit.
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: Material is the intended difference for this resting-shape question. Outline, start, mat, edge/view/operator and intended lift are relevant matches; one attempt and unmeasured force limit generalisation. It is not automatically invalid because material differs, nor a proof about every paper or cloth.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C08’s different strength-comparison question with changed starts/operators. Invite a match that serves that question; observe whether the child names the intended comparison rather than demanding identical everything.
C16 · Same resting count, strength unknown
Complete source: Original fiction. Two intended action labels, gentler and firmer-but-still-gentle, use the same broad card, start, direction, mat, adult and equal drawn-space unit. Each supplied resting finish is two spaces from the start. No force measurement or whole travelled path is recorded. The question is whether these finishes establish exactly equal strength.
Own invitation: What is equal in the record and what is still unmeasured?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The stated resting displacement/count and unit agree. The intended labels differ, but actual force strength is unmeasured; equal finishes do not prove exactly equal force. No need to invent a setup fault or say a supplied result is wrong.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C07’s overlapping four results and ask the child to keep the two-space overlap. Record whether actual source results and intended action labels remain distinct; no average, motor competition or stronger push needed.
C17 · A boundary needs a rule
Complete source: Original fiction. A paper card rests with its edge touching a drawn goal boundary. Reporter Lee says “The edge touches the boundary”; reporter Mo says “It is not wholly inside.” They describe the same card and same view. The game rule says “Reach the goal” but does not say whether touching its boundary counts. No winner, score, player preference or later rule is supplied.
Own invitation: Can both position reports fit? What rule question would help?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: Both position descriptions fit the supplied touching/not-wholly-inside position. Whether that earns a point is a rule question left undecided; it is not proof one observer is wrong. A proposal about boundary counting can be sensible but must be marked new, not a source fact.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C09’s explicit wholly-inside rule and recorded inside result. Ask how the clearer rule changes what can be concluded in that different story. Listen for observation versus rule, not a demanded winner or preference.
C18 · A fold-game idea waits
Complete source: Original fiction. A maker plans a quiet fold-game with a broad paper bend as a picture stand and a spoken rule instead of tiny writing. The idea is described on a note, but no stand is made, action tried or player response recorded. The maker wonders which instruction a willing player would want explained. No diagnosis or universal access preference is named.
Own invitation: What useful next question fits this plan without claiming it is already tested?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The note describes a plan; stand/action/player result remain open. Asking which instruction a willing player wants clarified is useful. The spoken option is a proposal, not proof it suits every person or that the untried game failed.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C10’s actually written invitation, planned second picture and missing reply. Invite one happened/planned/not-recorded label and a relevant reader question. Observe honest status, with no fabricated trial or learner diagnosis.
C19 · Keeping a useful rule
Complete source: Original fiction. One adult makes two short intended-gentle pushes of the same broad paper piece from the same drawn start toward the same broad goal on the same mat. Both recorded resting positions are wholly inside the goal after resets. The maker keeps the “one small push toward the goal” rule for this job. Exact force and a future different-player attempt are not supplied.
Own invitation: Why can keeping the rule be sensible here, and what remains open?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: Two supplied fits support the maker’s limited keep choice for this job. A change is not compulsory, more distance is not automatically better and another player/surface/attempt is open. It does not establish exact force, permanent reliability or a child’s actual motor performance.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C05’s purpose-dependent gentler/firmer comparison. Ask which result serves that source’s job and one bounded next question. Listen for purpose rather than compulsory change or universal “stronger is best”.
C20 · A notebook without a trial
Complete source: Original fiction. A child-character chooses to plan a paper matching game and dictates “I wonder what one gentle pull would do.” A helper writes those exact words. The character has not performed a move, seen a movement result or heard a player reply. The after/result and comparison spaces remain empty. The character finishes privately without sharing or sending anything.
Own invitation: What is the character’s contribution, what did the helper do, and what is not yet known?
Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation
Source-supported possibility: The character owns the question; the helper writes it. The motion result, comparison and player reply are unrecorded, so the empty spaces are appropriate. A private question can be useful work; no experiment, communication outcome or motor skill is manufactured.
Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.
Full next teaching: Use C18’s different untried fold-game note and invite a useful source question while keeping the result open. Attribute adult reading/scribing and actual child contribution; never fill the gap with a staff model.

Ten home offers
Optional, no purchase, account, school return or mandatory experiment. Source fiction is fully supplied; private speech/sign/AAC/drawing or a quiet finish is welcome. Adult local arrangements govern actual actions. These are selectable offers, not daily homework.
H01 · A parking place for a paper picture
Complete source: Original fiction. A paper bus begins at a drawn house. A helper pushes it gently along the table toward a drawn parking circle. It stops wholly inside the circle after the helper lets go. Only one attempt is recorded.
Own invitation: What job did the piece do? Tell, show or draw one question you might ask before another attempt.
Wanted practical offer: If wanted, choose a broad paper picture and a drawn parking place on a reachable mat. An adult agrees the short clear space, start and stop rule. Choose push or pull toward the place; the helper may operate. Pause and record only what was actually seen.
Complete alternative and access: A spoken story and two hand-drawn before/after pictures work without performing anything. The adult can read these exact fictional words without adding a cause or a result.
Notice and next: Keeping a successful idea is fine. A future player, force and attempt remain open. No message back to school is required.
H02 · A page that comes closer
Complete source: Original fiction. A broad paper pretend menu begins beyond a helper’s hand on a clear flat mat. The helper pulls it toward the hand and a drawn reading place, then lets go. The page stops nearer that place. No reader’s reply is supplied.
Own invitation: Describe the pull’s direction using the hand and reading place. What would you like to know about the reading job?
Wanted practical offer: Use a broad paper picture only. Agree a reachable near place and make one short movement within the surface. Do not use a real drink, hot surface or moving furniture. The child can direct a helper or decline.
Complete alternative and access: Point between two pictures or dictate “toward” in the child’s usual communication. Read the source again if wanted; no compulsory left/right vocabulary.
Notice and next: A nearer page does not prove it was easy to read. Ask a wanted reader question if useful; leave the unsupplied answer open.
H03 · A goal where more travel is not needed
Complete source: Original fiction. The job is to rest wholly inside a wide drawn goal. On the same mat from the same start, an adult’s first small intended-gentle push rests inside. A second described-as-firmer but still gentle push rests beyond the goal. Actual force was not measured.
Own invitation: Which supplied result fits this job? Say what these two attempts cannot settle.
Wanted practical offer: A source-only choice is enough. If actually trying, keep movements short and bounded; do not chase the piece or make a farthest contest. A different setup is new evidence, not this story’s result.
Complete alternative and access: Use two large cards labelled “inside” and “beyond”, spoken descriptions or a child-directed sketch. Give time before asking why.
Notice and next: A single pair cannot guarantee the next attempt. A change of surface or player is a question, not a supplied explanation.
H04 · Two attempts can finish together
Complete source: Original fiction. A card starts at the same mark on the same mat twice. The adult uses a push called gentler once and a push called firmer once toward the goal. Both rest at a mark two equal drawn spaces away. Strength and the full paths were not measured.
Own invitation: What is the same in the record? Does that settle whether the forces were equal?
Wanted practical offer: If wanted, draw two equal wide spaces and use a large paper piece. Adult-controlled attempts may produce different actual records. Keep them as observed; do not force this fictional result.
Complete alternative and access: Tell the complete story. The child may draw two resting marks, point or use a neutral scribe. No numbers are required beyond what the child wants to communicate.
Notice and next: Equal resting positions alone do not identify equal forces. “We do not know” can be a useful finish.
H05 · A rule for the person who will play
Complete source: Original fiction. A maker has written “Start at the house; push gently toward the star; pause when the piece rests.” No person has yet used the rule. A second picture is only planned.
Own invitation: What might a new player need to ask? Which part has been made, and which part has not been tried?
Wanted practical offer: Offer a child a private drawing or spoken rule for a broad paper piece. Ask whether they want anyone to try it. A wanted trial needs usual local safe arrangements; no public performance.
Complete alternative and access: A child can choose a single instruction by pointing or dictating. An adult can write exact words without improving their scientific content.
Notice and next: A clear-looking rule is not proof of a player’s understanding. Keep “planned”, “written” and “actually tried” separate.
H06 · A little paper sign that bends
Complete source: Original fiction. A broad paper rectangle has an existing fold. It begins flat. A helper presses at that fold. It bends during contact and rests as a low V after the hand lets go. No later stability result is recorded.
Own invitation: Show the three supplied moments. What question could help decide whether this suits a paper sign?
Wanted practical offer: Use a broad intact piece with an existing fold, if locally suitable. No cutting, weights, towers, real animal use or stability challenge is needed. The helper may handle it while the child observes.
Complete alternative and access: Read the source slowly as before/during/after. Use three large drawings, neutral spoken descriptions, tactile familiar representations where wanted, or AAC choices.
Notice and next: A V at one resting moment is not a promise it stays up. A flatter piece in another story is not this piece’s later result.
H07 · Moving and bending can both be recorded
Complete source: Original fiction. A folded paper tab lies flat at a drawn house. A helper presses its edge toward the drawn star. The tab shifts nearer the star and bends. After release it is nearer the star and still bent. Exact distance, force and the next attempt are not supplied.
Own invitation: Name or show one motion clue and one shape clue. What is still unknown?
Wanted practical offer: An adult reviews one modest tab movement on a flat clear mat. Stop if it catches, tears, flicks or leaves the agreed space. A source-only story is equally available.
Complete alternative and access: Two sketches or two separate spoken turns can keep the clues manageable. Do not require the child to name both at once or repeat a script.
Notice and next: Observe whether the child distinguishes where it went from what shape it had. A second actual attempt would be a new record.
H08 · Compare the question you actually want
Complete source: Original fiction. A paper gate and a familiar cloth gate have the same broad outline. Both begin flat on the same mat; one helper lifts the same chosen edge to an intended similar low height once for each. The paper rests with a higher bend and the cloth with a lower bend. Force was not measured.
Own invitation: If the question is about changing the material, what was intended to stay alike? What is a limit of this pair?
Wanted practical offer: Use the fiction, or choose one locally suitable broad material and a wanted question. Trying two materials is optional and does not show that every setup was matched. No material purchase or home report.
Complete alternative and access: Lay out large “alike”, “changed” and “not supplied” places, speak them, or let the child choose one matching detail.
Notice and next: One each cannot settle all materials or every force. An action question and a material question may need different matches.
H09 · A rule can need a boundary word
Complete source: Original fiction. A broad paper piece rests touching a drawn goal line. One reader says it touches the boundary; another says it is not wholly inside. The written rule only says “reach the goal”. It does not state whether touching counts.
Own invitation: Can both readers’ descriptions fit? What question would help with the rule?
Wanted practical offer: A broad drawing and an unmoving paper piece are enough. The child can invent a wanted line rule, keep it private and decide whether a later person should be asked. No winner is needed.
Complete alternative and access: Read each statement separately. Offer the complete source again and neutral “touches”, “inside” pictures or usual AAC without indicating a preferred rule.
Notice and next: Do not turn a missing rule into a wrong observation or an argument to win. Different player preferences remain unsupplied.
H10 · Keep a question for later—or finish
Complete source: Original fiction. A child-character dictates “Would one small pull bring the paper picture toward my reading place?” A helper writes those exact words. No pull has been performed and no result or reply is provided. The child-character finishes for now.
Own invitation: What has actually been recorded? Choose whether you want a next question, a drawing, or to finish.
Wanted practical offer: A single wanted question or a quiet drawing is useful. There is no requirement to test it, fill four boxes or return it. Actual offers need the ordinary adult setup and stop choice.
Complete alternative and access: Use speech, sign, AAC, pointing, a neutral scribe or no written record. Tell adults which words are the child’s and which are the helper’s.
Notice and next: A recorded question is not a completed investigation. Finishing now preserves the possibility of choosing differently later.
Ten supplementary invitations
Each has its own complete bounded source and a useful optional outcome. An additional task is not a requirement to finish more work. Usual communication, source-only reasoning and private finish remain available; no child account, upload or live lookup.
X01 · Make a game for a tiny pretend shop
Complete source: Original fiction. The paper parcel begins beside a drawn shop and is gently pushed toward a drawn delivery place. It stops near the place but not wholly inside. The rule has not stated whether near is enough.
Own invitation: Choose a useful delivery job. Say what the supplied result shows and what rule question remains.
Make or choose: Draw a broad parcel and two places; direct one modest action if wanted. Alternatively sort the three supplied words “began”, “moved”, “rested”.
Access choice: A quieter private drawing, one spoken clue or large textured familiar representations can replace a busy pretend shop. Keep any actor named.
Teacher notice and limit: A description of near is not proof of a failed job until the purpose rule is known.
X02 · Write a picture instruction a helper could use
Complete source: Original fiction. A card has a drawn arrow from a house toward a circle. The maker says the arrow is an intended direction. No piece has moved and no helper has replied.
Own invitation: Tell what the arrow is meant to ask for. Choose one question a helper might ask before trying.
Make or choose: Make a broad paper sign with a wanted start, action and direction, or dictate the idea. A helper may later try it only if wanted and locally appropriate.
Access choice: Use one symbol at a time; there is no need for handwriting, an app, a perfect arrow or a public presentation.
Teacher notice and limit: An instruction arrow is not observed motion. Record a later trial separately rather than altering the planned source.
X03 · Two useful jobs, two choices
Complete source: Original fiction. For a paper parking job, the wanted result is wholly inside a goal. A gentler-labelled attempt rests inside; a firmer-labelled attempt rests beyond. For a separate stage-cue job, the wanted result is nearer a drawn window. A small pull rests nearer. Exact forces are unknown.
Own invitation: Choose one job and explain a supplied fit. Could another person want a different job?
Make or choose: Make a private choice card for parking or stage cues. No real window, travel or lifting structure is involved. A complete source discussion is sufficient.
Access choice: Offer separate source turns or just one job first, with later comparison optional. Do not require both choices or an agreement between children.
Teacher notice and limit: Look for relation to purpose, not a universal ranking of stronger, faster or farther.
X04 · A tabletop stop-motion story without a camera
Complete source: Original fiction. Frame1 shows a card at a drawn house, frame2 shows a hand touching its edge toward a star, frame3 shows the card resting nearer the star. Exact intervening path, speed and force are not recorded.
Own invitation: Tell a three-frame story and name a clue the frames do not supply.
Make or choose: Draw three large panels or arrange three spoken descriptions. Digital art may be chosen later, but no device, camera, upload or image of a child is required.
Access choice: Point, dictate, sign or use AAC for one panel. Repeat the complete source neutrally and let the child pause.
Teacher notice and limit: A drawn in-between frame would be an invented idea, not recovered evidence of the missing path.
X05 · A local place can inspire a question
Complete source: Bounded factual source, not a visit record: Rockhampton Regional Council’s Kershaw Gardens listing names a monorail and a flying fox among playground features. Adult reading checked12October2026; the page does not establish present operation, a mechanism observation, safety suitability or a child’s experience. Source: https://www.rockhamptonregion.qld.gov.au/FacilitiesRecreation/Parks-Open-Spaces/Parks-Playground-Finder/Kershaw-Gardens .
Own invitation: Choose a pretend paper-game idea inspired by a listed feature, or ask what information an adult would need before any real visit. Label an imagined motion as an idea.
Make or choose: Make a broad paper playground picture that slides within a short flat mat. No riding, launching, elevated tracks, tensioned lines or actual visit is part of this task.
Access choice: Use the complete short factual statement spoken, large drawn shapes or a different familiar place described as fiction. No child browsing or locality disclosure.
Teacher notice and limit: Adult local replacement is optional: verify provider, date, bounded fact, current conditions and rights. A listing is not an observed push/pull or an operational guarantee.
X06 · A low paper sign with two messages
Complete source: Original fiction. One broad paper sign is bent at an existing fold and rests in a low V after release. A different uncreased sign is only planned. No stability, readability or comparison trial is provided.
Own invitation: What can you describe now? What would you ask if the wanted job was to show a message?
Make or choose: Choose one short wanted message. Draw or dictate a low-sign idea; use an existing fold only if adult-approved and wanted. No cutting or weights.
Access choice: A flat sketch or spoken message can be the complete outcome. A child may prefer a sign only they read.
Teacher notice and limit: An imagined second design is not comparison data. A one-moment resting shape does not establish prolonged stability.
X07 · Motion clue, shape clue, missing clue
Complete source: Original fiction. A helper presses a folded tab toward a star. The tab shifts nearer and bends; at rest it remains nearer and bent. The record supplies no next attempt or measured force.
Own invitation: Put a clue in motion, shape or not supplied—or explain it in your own words.
Make or choose: Use three large labelled areas and the complete source. If making original cards, include the supplied resting position, supplied bend and unsupplied force; do not place them for the child.
Access choice: One card, a neutral scribe, spoken choices or familiar tactile symbols are sufficient. Multiple valid expressions are welcome.
Teacher notice and limit: Do not award practical operation for sorting fictional evidence. Observe the selected conceptual distinction.
X08 · Plan a useful comparison notebook
Complete source: Original fiction. A maker wants to compare two materials but has only planned a paper gate on one mat and a cloth gate on a different mat with a different start. Neither has been lifted.
Own invitation: Which match could you ask to keep for that question? What result must stay open?
Make or choose: Sketch an intended same mat/start/edge arrangement for broad familiar pieces. The purpose is planning; it need not be performed. Any later actions and help receive their own actual record.
Access choice: Use two large pictures, one spoken change, or a child-directed helper drawing. No checklist completion is required.
Teacher notice and limit: Planning a match is not carrying out a fair comparison. A changed material is the intended difference for this question, rather than an automatic flaw.
X09 · Ask a player without supplying their reply
Complete source: Original fiction. A maker offers a quiet paper parking-game idea to a fictional player and asks, “Would you want to try this, change one part or leave it?” The source supplies no reply, attempt or preference.
Own invitation: Choose a wanted question for a possible player. How would you leave room for their own choice?
Make or choose: Create a private invitation card, spoken request or AAC choice. A real person is asked only if the child wants and the person is willing; do not require a peer interview.
Access choice: A fictional no-reply source is complete. Quiet finish and no participation are normal choices; no diagnosis or assumed preference.
Teacher notice and limit: A question does not prove a player liked, used or understood the game. A later actual reply is new evidence.
X10 · A small designer’s exhibit—private works too
Complete source: Original fiction. A notebook contains a wanted goal, one intended gentle push, an actual adult-operated attempt recorded inside, and a question about a different player. The later-player result is blank. The child-character chooses a private finish.
Own invitation: Choose one useful part to show, tell or keep. Distinguish an observed record from a future question.
Make or choose: Make an optional two-minute explanation, folded paper booklet or spoken summary. No polished product, public gallery, camera, upload or four-box completion is required.
Access choice: Use large type, one page, child-directed dictation or AAC. Offer movement/rest breaks and a quiet way to keep the work.
Teacher notice and limit: Observe the communicated science idea and actual support. Neatness, number of boxes, exhibition and willingness to speak are not science mastery.
