Learner prompts

Wanted outcome: a real-source problem/response chain with a local limit. Prepare: FACT2 and FACT4 and a three-box problem / possible response / evidence still needed record.

0–3: ask how a community can act without pretending it knows every result. 3–9 model: FACT4 identifies a light-related turtle problem at nesting beaches. Source guidance supports reviewing unnecessary coastal light; it does not prove your school’s lights affect a turtle population. Adults decide lawful safe action; children do not alter electrical devices or visit a beach. 9–21: choose a route. 21–27: mark provider fact, your recommendation and unknown separately. 27–30 exit: name a scientific idea used in a response and a remaining question. If factual card becomes a local forecast, put date/place back beside the claim.
