Today I am practising: distinguishing observed evidence from an unsupported guess
1
Read: The leaf has five points. Mark observation or guess.
2
Read: The leaf is five years old. Mark observation or guess.
3
Draw one detail you can check with your eyes.
4
Write one question you would need to investigate.
5
Match a ruler drawing to the claim it can support.
6
Explain why a guess can be useful but needs evidence.
- Use kind language: a guess is a starting idea, not something to shame.
- Ask what tool or observation could check each claim.
- Keep examples concrete and tied to a visible object or provided drawing.
