These deepen a concept after the 25-minute lesson. They need the supplied cards and paper only. They are not homework obligations, experiments, medical advice or extra marks. A learner can choose an interest, skip an invitation or work with an adult without disclosing personal information.

Day Different domain and optional extension
1 Nature guide: write a caption for an imaginary wetland cell drawing that distinguishes a visible label from a guess.
2 Food production: explain why a fictional fermentation microbe can assemble protein even when its DNA is not inside a nucleus; stay with Card B's model, not a culture recipe.
3 Game design: create a two-question classification gate; include “need more information” as a valid result for an incomplete sketch.
4 Urban trees: draft a sign for a fictional leaf cell display that mentions photosynthesis and states that not all cells in a tree have chloroplasts.
5 Museum interpretation: after submitting the new-case check, write one sentence about why an incomplete model belongs in a science exhibit.
6 Parcel analogy audit: an imagined dispatch centre can help order an exported-protein route. Identify where the analogy fails: cells are not literal factories, and not all proteins travel this route.
7 Water balance: use the model of a plant central vacuole to describe a compartment role without claiming every cell has the same size or contents.
8 Sports venue map: invent four nested venue levels as an analogy, then state why a venue does not prove the biological cell→system hierarchy.
9 Information literacy: find a bounded word in each of Cards A, C and F and explain how it prevents an overclaim. No web search is required.
10 Accessible exhibit: after first-check submission, write a 40-word guide to one organelle job that makes sense without a diagram.
