Six equipment-free teaching kits help students read measurements, evaluate comparisons, support a design choice, explain temperature changes, revise a claim, and evaluate a redesign. Shared guides and an evidence portfolio support the sequence. The optional cool-water investigation requires the stated materials, ordinary adult supervision, and school procedures; a complete supplied-data alternative is included.
Choose your starting point, materials and teaching goal. For a response you want to revisit, choose the skill it shows. Each result links the student pages, teacher guidance and a follow-up task. Ask a clarifying question when a response is unclear.
