AC9SFI03 — Answer guide

SkillrHub · Adult copy. Read directions aloud if needed; accept spoken explanations grounded in the examples.

1. a simple table. It provides a structure for the observations.

   Teaching hint: Use the supplied headings and rows.

2. a pattern: the grouped bird pictures share feathers.

   Teaching hint: Point to the observed shared feature.

3. fish pictures → common animal features; rolling balls → similar movement; wooden objects → similar material use.

   Teaching hint: Connect each record to the comparison it supports.

4. template. It gives a place to record observations.

   Teaching hint: Use the provided structure rather than inventing results.

5. Feathers: duck and pigeon. No feathers: dog.

   Teaching hint: Apply the given headings to all three described cards.

6. The ball and toy car both rolled; the block slid.

   Teaching hint: Use the supplied observations rather than suggesting an unobserved result.

7. recorded; made is also acceptable.

   Teaching hint: A pattern needs evidence from actual observations.

8. glass → many window panes; metal → many spoons; wood → many blocks or furniture parts.

   Teaching hint: These are common uses, not claims that every object has that material.

9. No. The ball and toy car rolled, but the block slid, so “all three rolled” contradicts the record.

   Teaching hint: Use the block’s entry as evidence against the claim.

10. Ball—rolled; block—slid; toy car—rolled. The ball and car shared a rolling movement in this trial.

    Teaching hint: Fill the supplied organiser first, then compare its entries with guidance.
