# Ten fresh formative checks · teacher release only on Days 15 and 20

**Fictional, held-out practice cases.** Give only the chosen subject's A or B section at the named time; keep [staff answers](TEACHER-KEY.md) 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](SOURCE-AND-RIGHTS.md) 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.
