Prompt

Design a 30-minute 'field trip' inside [AVAILABLE SPACE] for students learning [TOPIC]. Choose six ordinary, safe objects already likely present; for each, create an observation task, one inference question and a way to check that inference. Provide a facilitator route, accessibility alternatives for learners who cannot move around, and a five-minute debrief. No purchasing, risky experiments or assumptions that every classroom has identical resources. Return a route card and a printable observation sheet. Separate facts students can see from explanations that require a source.
