Work from the original model cards. Every day's three access/response routes ask for the same chemistry evidence. Use paper, full-word movable cards, typing, speaking, sign or AAC; record any prompting or reading support. The two public formative checks arrive on Days 5 and 10. Model labels are fictional; no chemical handling or personal information is needed.

Day Your seven-minute task Evidence to hand in
1 · A model is not a path Label nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons and distinct energy levels on the atom model mat. Three particle locations/charges and a sentence saying a ring is not a measured orbit.
2 · Z is identity Given C Z 6, O Z 8, Mg Z 12, match each symbol to proton count; explain why a display label does not decide the element. Three matches and one evidence limit.
3 · A is a nuclear count For neutral C-12 (Z 6), O-16 (Z 8), Mg-24 (Z 12), calculate p and n. Three p/n pairs, A−Z, and why a decimal atomic weight is different.
4 · Isotope pair Compare neutral C-12/C-13 (Z 6) and Cl-35/Cl-37 (Z 17). Same-Z claim, four neutron counts, one limit about abundance.
5 · Fresh check A Answer new Files R/S before opening a key. Two complete neutral count triples, an isotope explanation and a bounded claim.
6 · Read the left numbers Read ^{26}_{12}Mg and ^{23}_{11}Na as name, A, Z and neutral status for this task. Full-word reads and p/n/e triples for each.
7 · Positive ion Compare neutral Na-23/Na-23 1+ (Z 11) and neutral Mg-24/Mg-24 2+ (Z 12). Four electron counts and fixed p/n for each pair.
8 · Negative ion Compare neutral Cl-35/Cl-35 1− (Z 17) and neutral O-16/O-16 2− (Z 8). Four electron counts and an explanation of fixed A/Z.
9 · Claim audit Correct four claims about a plus sign, isotope identity, sodium's A and a material label. Four repairs with a rule and a limit.
10 · Fresh check B Answer new Files T/U before feedback. Two p/n/e triples, two charge checks, same/different distinctions and a claim limit.

Useful checks: protons = Z; neutrons = A−Z; p+n=A; neutral electrons = Z; electron loss yields positive charge; electron gain yields negative charge. A is a whole-number count for one isotope, not the periodic-table decimal standard atomic weight. Do not infer real material content, hazards, purity, medical effects or actual electron paths from these paper cards.
