Prompt

Given [QUESTION], [AVAILABLE MATERIALS], and [AGE GROUP], design a safe classroom comparison changing one factor at a time. Provide hypothesis options, controlled variables, step sequence, observation table, and a conclusion template that distinguishes observation from inference. Include a stop condition and a non-experimental fallback if the materials are unsuitable. Do not invent measurements or guarantee a result. Check that the two conditions differ only on the chosen factor and that the procedure fits the materials.
