Fictional, held-out practice cases. Give only the chosen subject's A or B section at the named time; keep staff answers separate. Six minutes is a prompt window, not a speed norm. Offer read-aloud, large text, tactile materials, AAC/sign, calculator where relevant and exact-word transcription; record access and content hints separately. Save first response before feedback. No item is psychometrically validated.
Day 15 · check A
Science A · model and boundary
A new paper drawing marks a plant cell with a membrane, nucleus and wall, and an animal cell with membrane and nucleus. A second diagram shows two plate edges sliding horizontally past each other. Both are explicitly simplified drawings, with no microscope image or location. (1) Name one shared cell structure and one difference in these drawings. (2) Name the plate-boundary type. (3) Give one thing either drawing cannot prove about a real specimen or real place.
HASS A · pattern and provenance
A made-up coast table gives cliff-edge position relative to a fixed marker as 12 m, 14 m and 15 m in three successive fictional surveys. There is no measurement method or date interval. A modern exhibition label says “This manuscript is from the 1400s” but lists no find location, creator, material or dated record. (1) Describe the numerical pattern without naming its cause. (2) Ask one geographical question needed before claiming a real erosion rate. (3) Is the exhibition sentence alone strong evidence of the manuscript's date? Name missing provenance.
HPE A · permission and fair play
In a fictional club, a member asks to film another participant's demonstration for the group's private review. The participant says no. A cooperative target game's rule allows only standing throws. (1) Write a respectful next line and non-filming option. (2) Propose one rule/equipment change that could support willing seated or standing players and one thing to ask players before claiming inclusion. Do not role-play a real refusal or identify classmates.
Technologies A · new design brief
A fictional travelling word-game table needs a flat-pack holder for six large paper prompt cards. Two sketches are supplied in words: A is narrow and tall; B is low and wide. Neither has been tested. (1) Write one user need and two testable criteria. (2) Choose one measurement or safe comparison that would help select A/B. (3) State one outcome you must mark unknown until tested. No material is actually made.
Arts A · new media storyboard
A fictional community puzzle night wants a paper-only, two-frame invitation for first-time visitors. The organisers have no permission to show anyone's face or use borrowed images. (1) Sketch, assemble or dictate two original frames, a concise caption and intended audience. (2) Explain one ordering/cropping choice and a privacy-respecting production step. (3) Mark whether you actually made a tiny storyboard or only described a plan; the teacher records the first response.
Day 20 · check B
Science B · energy and matter
An original paper storyboard shows a raised toy block, then the block moving downward. A separate particle diagram A shows many identical joined red–blue pairs; diagram B shows red single circles and blue single circles unjoined together. (1) Name a potential-to-kinetic change in the storyboard and one form of evidence it lacks. (2) Which diagram models a compound and which a mixture? Justify from the units. (3) Give one limit before identifying a real sample from such a drawing. No block is dropped or substance handled.
HASS B · legal source and balanced choice
A fictional club receives a note saying “The school committee made a new statute.” Its $50 paper-display plan is $20 board, $14 paper, $6 labels and $10 reserve. A proposed extra title panel costs $8. (1) Use the supplied Parliamentary Education Office source to explain why the note's term statute needs correction; distinguish a school rule from parliamentary statute. (2) Rebalance the fictional $50 if adding the panel, naming what changes and one benefit/cost question. No legal or household advice is requested.
HPE B · pause, help and movement claim
In a fictional cooperative relay, a disputed score leads to upset. Separately, an organiser privately pressures a participant for a personal photo after being told no. A printed rule diagram proposes moving a paper target closer for a willing seated player, but no one has tried it. (1) Give a specific pause/check step for the score dispute. (2) Name a safe help route for the pressure without forwarding the image. (3) Say what the target diagram suggests and what it cannot prove about actual movement or inclusion.
Technologies B · binary and nested trace
A four-bit row has weights 8 | 4 | 2 | 1. (1) Decode 0111; encode decimal 9 in four bits and show the weights. (2) Trace this fictional stock-card rule: if count >= 12: if damaged: REPAIR else DISPLAY; else if count >= 6: HOLD; else RESTOCK. Give outputs for (14, damaged=True), (8, False) and (4, False). (3) Name one reason a paper trace is different from running and debugging code. No real stock system is controlled.
Arts B · original visual process and showing
A fictional exhibit asks for one original visual study of an imaginary rotating paper lantern, using thick/thin line and empty space. No culture-specific motif, photo or borrowed artwork is supplied. (1) Create or learner-direct two tiny variants, select one and write a one-sentence intention. (2) Document one changed mark and why. (3) If you present it to a willing viewer with the process note, record what was actually shown; otherwise write planned presentation. A description without an artefact is planning evidence only.
