All four original SVGs have accessible <title> and <desc> and print as single-page A4 PDFs. Colour only helps scanning; every heading and category is written in text. The aids are blank scaffolds and reveal no staff answer or held-out check response. An adult may read them, make raised paper boxes, or write exactly what a learner dictates.

Science sky aid

Title “Sky pattern lab · evidence first.” Warning: “Never look directly at the Sun. A model is not an outdoor observation.” Checkboxes: “Today I used: safe class observation / invented practice data / paper model.” Three large empty areas headed Predict, Record, Compare / Question. Below: “If observing: same fixed object? ; place? ; date? ; Time ; informal length/unit ; shadow end mark .” A blank two-row table is headed “Two-record table · label real or invented”, with record 1 and record 2, each having time and length/unit blanks. Last prompts: “What stayed the same? ; What changed? ; What still needs checking? ___.” Tactile route: three labelled pockets, two paper strips of adjustable length and two time tokens; no outdoor task is required.

HASS source aid

Title “HASS · question, source, scale.” Warning: “An invented model is not a verified local map. Name the source you used.” An empty My question box. Three nested blank rectangles labelled state/territory, region, local place, with instruction to add only verified real names. Source-note fields: publisher; title; date checked; real source or invented model; what this source actually supports; what it cannot tell us; next source or question. Tactile route: three paper envelopes that nest, plus labelled source-field cards. A learner need not name their own home or location.

HPE choice aid

Title “HPE · choose, ask, pause, revise.” Warning: “A paper plan does not prove a physical route is safe or accessible.” Prompts: “My comfortable mode or marker method ; Partner agreed? yes/no/solo plan; Pause signal .” One large blank fictional route drawing area with Start ___ and Finish . Below: “Rule we agreed to test ; What actually happened? paper only / moved or manipulated; What did a partner say/do? ; One revision after feedback .” Final sentence: “No reason is needed to pause or decline a role.” Tactile route: two start/finish tokens on a blank board; learner directs a partner to move a paper marker.

Arts workbench aid

Title “Five-form Arts workbench.” Instruction: “Choose one form. A plan and an actual performance/tool use are different evidence.” Five large blank panels, top to bottom:

  1. Dance: pathway / level / pause; “begin ; change ; end ___.”
  2. Drama: role / problem / response; “role A ; role B ; new line ___.”
  3. Media Arts: frame / crop / caption; “frame 1 ; frame 2 ; audience ___.”
  4. Music: four pulses / one rest; four empty numbered pulse boxes and “change ___.”
  5. Visual Arts: symbol / arrow / label; “viewer sees first ; revise .”

Tactile route: five labelled trays or page sections. Use arrow pieces, puppet labels, empty frame cards, four beat tokens and raised line shapes. Only the form chosen for the 12-minute block needs to be prepared.
