Choose one area's card for the day unless your teacher plans more time. Every card takes about 12 minutes and offers A/B/C ways to reach the same evidence target. Switch routes whenever useful; they are not fixed learning-style labels. Text, large print, Braille, tactile tokens, speech, sign, AAC, typing and directed scribing may carry your own reasoning. A precise source detail and one limit matter more than the format. All cases and numbers are invented except the two HASS History source facts clearly linked to the UN and Australian Human Rights Commission. No personal data, purchases, real fieldwork, food preparation, chemicals, public performance, recording or unsafe movement are required. Tell the teacher what you actually did; a plan is not a conducted test or performance.

Science

Science Day 11 Garden label question

Source/target: A fictional community garden displays two paper seed-label shapes, wide and narrow. A planner wants to compare how many letters fit on a drawn label, not which plants grow. Form an investigable paper-model question, a reasoned prediction and one controlled feature.

Science Day 12 Stage-rig model table

Source/target: A made-up stage cart diagram lists equal invented pushes of 2 units for two toy masses, 1 and 2 mass units; a calculation model, not equipment data, predicts response values 2 and 1. Choose a table that keeps units, changed mass and the model-only limit clear.

Science Day 13 Library light-grid representation

Source/target: An invented reading-room grid records paper “light scores” at three drawn positions: window 8, centre 5, shelf 2 arbitrary units. No light meter or room exists. Represent the ordered values and state a within-model pattern without calling it accessibility evidence.

Science Day 14 Transit-board anomaly

Source/target: Four fictional paper-route counts are 6, 7, 6 and 12 turns. A note says the fourth route card was copied after one arrow was redrawn. Keep all four values, describe the unusual one and suggest a reproducible recheck without declaring it wrong.

Science Day 15 Home-water scenario boundary

Source/target: A constructed household diagram has drawn tap-use tokens of 4, 4, 5 and 11 arbitrary units; the 11 card is marked “different counting interval”. These are not water bills or conservation results. Identify the comparability problem and a better question.

Science Day 16 Rehearsal-room paper screen

Source/target: A fictional music room wants to compare two drawn screen patterns. No sound level, comfort or accessibility was measured. Plan a reproducible paper comparison of hole number while keeping paper size and drawn source position the same.

Science Day 17 Astronomy-club claim review

Source/target: An invented club poster says, “One unlabeled point on a chart proves our model of the whole sky.” No real astronomy data are supplied. Write a peer-review question about source, scale or repetition and a narrower claim.

Science Day 18 Repair-bench circuit cards

Source/target: A fictional electronics paper model has three identical labelled cards, “closed path” with indicator 1, “open path” with indicator 0, and “closed path” with indicator 1. No current was measured and no circuit is built. Organise the cards and say what pattern is in the model versus what would require real testing.

Science Day 19 Weather-board uncertainty

Source/target: A made-up school notice gives predicted temperatures 20, 21, 22 arbitrary degrees for three future days with no model source or location. These are invented numbers, not a forecast. Identify missing provenance and design a reproducibility question.

Science Day 20 Sports-equipment paper study

Source/target: An imaginary equipment club compares drawn grip widths of 3, 4 and 5 squares and writes “widest is safest”. No one handled equipment and no safety evidence exists. Choose an investigable paper comfort-question prototype and reject the safety conclusion.

HASS

HASS Day 11 A declaration's source trail · History

Source/target: The UN history page records the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' General Assembly adoption on 10 December 1948 after the Second World War. The Australian Human Rights Commission account describes Australia's role. Distinguish a UN institutional history page from a later Australian explanation; name origin, purpose and one question the pair cannot settle alone.

HASS Day 12 Two named contributors · History

Source/target: The Australian Human Rights Commission identifies H. V. Evatt and Jessie Street in Australia's involvement in the Declaration's development. Use its account to compare their different documented roles without saying either acted alone or that the Declaration itself instantly changed every Australian law.

HASS Day 13 Pocket-park shade inquiry · Geography

Source/target: A fictional pocket-park sketch labels three paper zones: paved centre, planted edge and covered seat. No place, temperature or accessibility was measured. Develop two geographical inquiry questions, one about pattern and one about a possible strategy, with data each would require.

HASS Day 14 Public refill point choice · Geography

Source/target: An imaginary venue weighs two paper refill-point placements: A closer to entrance but with an unverified step-free route; B farther on the sketch with route detail still unknown. Use environmental, social and cost criteria to compare, then state what local evidence would be needed before recommendation.

HASS Day 15 Forum speaking order · Civics

Source/target: A fictional youth forum offers one microphone and 12 minutes. Proposal A gives three speakers four minutes each; B gives six speakers two minutes each. Neither ensures all perspectives are heard. Evaluate which rule better serves a stated participation goal and what input is still missing.

HASS Day 16 Community notice response · Civics

Source/target: An invented local notice says “Everyone agreed,” but its paper tally lists 8 supportive, 4 uncertain and 3 opposed responses. No sampling method or real council exists. Evaluate a civic participation method that would make uncertainty and access visible before a decision.

HASS Day 17 Theatre-prop reuse decision · Economics and Business

Source/target: A fictional theatre can reuse 10 paper props for 3 credits each plus 8 setup credits, or make 10 new paper props for 5 credits each. Quality and labour are not supplied. Develop a cost-benefit question, compare stated totals and name two unknowns before recommending.

HASS Day 18 Canteen packing prompt · Economics and Business

Source/target: A made-up canteen considers paper container R at 2 credits per use for 20 planned uses, or S at 10 setup credits plus 1 credit per use. Food safety, waste and actual demand are unknown; no food is prepared. Modify the question if demand is uncertain and calculate both model totals at 20.

HASS Day 19 Music-room schedule trade-off · Economics and Business

Source/target: Fictional room plans allocate 4 slots to rehearsals and 2 to repairs under Plan A; Plan B allocates 3 and 3. The number of participants and actual value of each slot are unknown. Develop evaluation criteria that do not turn counts alone into a community-benefit claim.

HASS Day 20 Weekend market paper signs · Economics and Business

Source/target: A fictional market organiser compares 12 reusable signs at 4 credits each with 12 single-use signs at 3 credits each for one event. Reuse across future events is not known. Assess a short-term cost and longer-term evidence need without making environmental or financial advice.

HPE

HPE Day 11 Library-club invitation

Source/target: A fictional club poster says “Only confident speakers may join.” Propose an inclusion action with meaningful choices and a way to hear whether it works; no student must disclose a diagnosis or speaking preference.

HPE Day 12 Sleep-product claim audit

Source/target: An invented advertisement says a ten-minute routine “guarantees perfect sleep for everyone”. It supplies no study, population or safety information. Critique the claim's persuasive words and identify trustworthy questions; this is not personal sleep advice.

HPE Day 13 Timetable transition

Source/target: A fictional team changes meeting rooms with ten minutes' notice. A member may need an alternative communication route; no reason must be disclosed. Refine a transition strategy that confirms the change reached everyone.

HPE Day 14 Shared-material permission

Source/target: In an imagined art group, someone reaches for a peer's paper tools after the peer says “Please ask first.” Evaluate respect, choice and power in the next action without asking for personal experiences.

HPE Day 15 Crowded-room safety plan

Source/target: A fictional activity room's main aisle is blocked by paper boxes. No one is injured. Rehearse a safe, school-policy-aligned response: pause, avoid moving through the blockage, tell the responsible adult and use an approved route. Do not run a drill or clear a real hazard for this card.

HPE Day 16 Tabletop passing strategy

Source/target: A paper-token game uses four marked stations and a goal of giving each willing player a meaningful turn. Create and revise a turn rule after one school-approved tabletop run, or label your result a paper plan if no run occurs.

HPE Day 17 Seated rhythm route

Source/target: A low-intensity, opt-in hand/desk pulse pattern has four beats: touch, rest, touch, rest. Create a strategy for two participants to coordinate without assuming everyone can hear or move the same way. Participation is optional and school-safety rules govern.

HPE Day 18 Fair-play passing game

Source/target: In a fictional, opt-in seated paper-token passing challenge one player gives themselves every second turn. Design a fairer procedure and, if safely enacted with willing players using a comfortable pass, roll or directed move, reflect on what changed in the physical activity. A written plan alone is not a demonstrated fair-play action.

HPE Day 19 Reach-route adaptation

Source/target: A fictional station game places a token at two drawn distances. No body reaches or abilities are measured. Devise two equivalent participation options and one feedback question before any approved trial.

HPE Day 20 Mixed-role activity review

Source/target: An invented activity gives one caller, one mover and two recorders. The goal is shared decision-making, not speed. Refine the role rotation and note what an actual willing-group run would need to show.

Technologies

Technologies Day 11 Recipe-card separator · Design

Source/target: A fictional shared kitchen needs a paper-only separator to keep recipe cards grouped. Write a design brief with reader, function, one-sheet constraint and testable criterion. No food or kitchen equipment is used.

Technologies Day 12 Bookmark tab iteration · Design

Source/target: Prototype a foldable scrap-paper bookmark tab that shows one page label without covering the line. Use one small paper fold, test against a fictional printed line and revise one feature. No blades or adhesives are required.

Technologies Day 13 Reusable gift sleeve criteria · Design

Source/target: A drawn sleeve for a paper card, not a product package, must use one sheet and reopen without tearing in a paper demonstration. Select two criteria including material use; evaluate a prototype idea honestly.

Technologies Day 14 Game-token scoop prototype · Design

Source/target: A fictional board-game set needs a paper scoop to move three paper counters across a desk. Build or direct a one-sheet prototype and test with counters only; revise the lip or base once.

Technologies Day 15 Seed-packet divider audit · Design

Source/target: A folded-paper divider must hold two empty paper envelopes upright for ten seconds in a classroom desk trial. No seeds, soil or real products are used. Compare an actual trial result to stability and material criteria; if untested, write “not tested”.

Technologies Day 16 Page content, markup and style · Digital

Source/target: In the offline rule lab, inspect a small example <h1>Rule lab</h1> and a CSS colour choice. Separate displayed words, HTML structure and presentation; no account or network is used.

Technologies Day 17 A two-condition rule · Digital

Source/target: The offline lab classifies invented parcel labels as READY when readable AND reviewed. Design a truth table for all four yes/no combinations before using the tool.

Technologies Day 18 Test-case challenge · Digital

Source/target: A fictional student algorithm says READY if readable OR reviewed. The requirement is AND. Compare outputs for all four test cases in the lab; identify one case that exposes the error and revise the condition.

Technologies Day 19 Parcel-rule user experience · Digital

Source/target: A new reader may not know what READY means. Prototype a clearer interface for the same offline, invented parcel rule with explicit input labels, result explanation and an unknown-data state. This is a design, not a live service.

Technologies Day 20 Unknown is not false · Digital

Source/target: In the offline parcel lab, a label may have unknown readability. Design a three-state rule that does not silently turn unknown into NO; test unknown + reviewed yes and one known case on paper or in the lab.

Arts

Arts Day 11 Waiting-room motif · Dance

Source/target: Choreograph an original comfortable eight-count motif for “waiting, then choosing to leave”: open, pause, turn/redirect, settle. Use hand, eye, seated, standing or directed spatial notation; no style or cultural tradition is being imitated.

Arts Day 12 Two-path dance revision · Dance

Source/target: In a fictional station queue, show “approach, yield, return” in four counts, then change level or direction for a contrasting second four. Refine one choice after an actual safe trial or a clearly labelled paper critique.

Arts Day 13 The wrong parcel · Drama

Source/target: Devise a 25-second original scene: two fictional neighbours find a parcel with no readable address. Give each role a different goal, add one pause and end with a question, not an accusation.

Arts Day 14 The second message · Drama

Source/target: In an imagined community theatre, the parcel from Day13 now includes a note: “Please ask before opening.” Revise the character's action and one line to show the effect of a new boundary, without suggesting a real safety procedure.

Arts Day 15 Single-frame inference · Media Arts

Source/target: An original fictional paper news image shows a closed box, a hand placing a label and an empty table. Choose one frame to lead a story, then explain an inference that a missing frame might change. No person or institution is real.

Arts Day 16 Community notice mini-comic · Media Arts

Source/target: Make an original three-panel paper mini-comic about a fictional notice changing from vague to precise. Use framing, caption and sequence to challenge a “everyone agreed” representation without copying a real poster.

Arts Day 17 Four-beat city cue · Music

Source/target: Compose and notate an original four-beat cue for a fictional crossing in a stage play: short sound, rest, longer sound, rest. Try the optional original quiet tone aid or the full beat text; it is a timing example, not a real traffic signal.

Arts Day 18 Rehearsal-room response motif · Music

Source/target: Add an original four-beat answering phrase to Day17's score for a fictional rehearsal cue. Use at least one rest and a different contour or dynamic; write how the response relates to the first phrase.

Arts Day 19 Market-sign negative space · Visual Arts

Source/target: On scrap paper, explore two original compositions for a fictional market stall sign using one circle, one line and empty space. Change placement/weight, not a culturally owned motif, and state how attention moves.

Arts Day 20 Park-path abstract print · Visual Arts

Source/target: Create a small original abstract paper print for a fictional park path using a bend, two contrasting marks and one intentionally empty region. Refine one choice from peer/self feedback; do not present it as a real wayfinding sign.
