Committing to a guess out loud and discovering you were wrong. Being wrong on purpose is a skill, and it is far easier to learn at three than at thirty.
You need: A bowl of water + a stone, a cork, a coin, a leaf, a spoon, a lime
She predicts FIRST and puts the object under her guess on the mat. Then she tests. Anything she got wrong moves across, out loud.
You need: The cup from week 10
"What is different from yesterday?" She has the language to describe change over time — make her use it.
You need: Ice, two bowls
One in the sun, one in the shade. She predicts which melts first, then comes back in an hour to find out.
Running the experiment herself — filling the bowl, carrying it, mopping up afterwards.
Do the whole thing outside and let her get properly wet.
Optional. Pause before each object and make her commit out loud.
"Sink or float?" before every single object. Then watch.
Press ⌘P — only the sheets below print, never this plan. A4, no scaling.
Sort first. Name it only once sorting is easy.
Tape this by the cup so she can run it without being told.
Week 11 — Predict, then find out. One line a day is plenty. Write what she did, not what she got right.
