WOVI · SESSION 4 OF 4 · LEARNER WORKSHEET

Explain & improve

Ages 9–13 with an adult · About 20–30 minutes · Free trial edition

You need: your paper notes from Sessions 1–3, a pencil and a parent or guardian. No name is needed. This record stays with your family.

If you missed a session, mark it “not tried yet.” You can use one investigation you did finish, then return to the others later. If you have no notes yet, complete one earlier activity before making this record.

1. Gather your evidence · 3–4 minutes

Find your Agent Maze prediction and changed rule, your Reef Rescue example notes, and your Transfer lab decisions. Mark only what you actually tried. A session can be partly finished.

Session 1 · Tried / partly tried / not yet. Note I kept:

Session 2 · Tried / partly tried / not yet. Note I kept:

Session 3 · Tried / partly tried / not yet. Note I kept:

Choose one investigation where a result surprised you, a rule changed a choice, or you spotted missing evidence. If your first prediction was right, explain what evidence supported it.

2. Make your family investigation record · 7–9 minutes

Use your own notes below. If you do not remember something, write “not recorded” and choose whether to repeat that part. Do not invent a result to fill a line.

The investigation or question I chose:

Before testing, I predicted:

The rule, examples or review choice I changed:

What I kept the same:

What I actually saw or calculated:

The score, count or observation that supports my explanation:

I now explain the result this way:

One thing this result does not tell me yet:

3. Show it, then answer a question · 4–6 minutes

Give your adult a short tour of the record: “I predicted… I changed… I observed… I think this happened because…” Point to your evidence rather than trying to remember a perfect speech.

Ask your adult to choose one question: “What stayed the same?” “Could another reason explain it?” or “What different case would you try?” You can say “I do not know yet” and name what you would need to check.

The question my adult asked:

My answer, or the evidence I still need:

4. Plan one fresh test · 3–5 minutes

Choose one small next step: change a reward, try an unfamiliar example, check a separate group, or test when a person should review. Change one thing where possible and say what you will keep the same.

My next test will change:

I will keep this the same:

I predict this observation:

This observation would make me reconsider:

This is a plan, not a result. You may run it later and add what happened on another sheet.

5. Check your record · 2–3 minutes

For each line, circle “shown” or “not yet.” You may point to a drawing, numbers or a spoken explanation. Choose one “not yet” item to improve; do not add the marks into a score.

  • I can separate my prediction from the result. Shown / Not yet
  • I can point to evidence for my explanation. Shown / Not yet
  • I can name what I changed and what stayed the same. Shown / Not yet
  • I can name a limit or unanswered question. Shown / Not yet
  • I have a next test that could challenge my idea. Shown / Not yet

The next part of my record I want to improve:

Keep this record with your worksheets. It shows the investigation you chose to explain today; it is not a certificate or a claim that every AI idea is mastered.

Session 4 parent guide: Explain & improve

WOVI · SESSION 4 OF 4 · PARENT REFERENCE

Explain & improve

Ages 9–13 with an adult · About 20–30 minutes · Free trial edition

Your role: help the learner turn their own work into an explanation. A small, accurate record is more useful than a polished report with missing evidence. Allow a drawing or spoken answer, and write down their words if that helps.

Start from the work that exists

Gather Sessions 1–3. Mark unfinished activities honestly; do not require all of them before discussing one completed investigation. If no activity has been tried, return to an earlier session first. If a prediction was never recorded, leave it as “not recorded”; a new run can supply a new prediction, not reconstruct the old one.

Help the learner choose a specific moment: the changed storm penalty in Agent Maze, one training-example choice in Reef Rescue, or one Transfer lab calculation. “I finished the game” alone does not explain what changed or why.

Check the link between change, observation and explanation

Ask the learner to point to an actual score, count, route or paper calculation. If several settings changed at once, help them say that; do not force a one-change explanation that the record cannot support. They can propose a clearer comparison as their next test.

For reference, Session 3’s greenhouse choices are A → B → A as the scoring rules change, then B when the minimum-water rule removes A. The leaf test has 20/25 correct overall, with 18/20 in bright light and 2/5 in dim light. Museum cases B and C need review for different reasons. Use these only if the learner chose those cases; they are not evidence that your child completed them.

If using the Agent Maze sample, distinguish a person changing a fixed scoring rule from an agent learning a new rule by itself. If using Reef Rescue, discuss the examples and displayed result the learner actually observed; do not supply a fictional before-and-after improvement.

Listen first; choose one follow-up

Let the learner give their short tour before correcting it. Choose one follow-up from the learner page and leave time to think. “I would need a new photo to check that” or “I changed two settings, so I cannot tell which mattered” can be useful answers.

If the explanation does not match the evidence, ask them to look again at the relevant number or rule. Help them revise one sentence in their own words. A correct prediction is not required; being able to revise an explanation is a worthwhile outcome of this activity.

Make the next test concrete

A usable plan names what changes, what stays the same and what result would challenge the explanation. For example, a learner who chose the museum task could keep a 3-point gap and compare a clear image with a blurred one. They should predict the two decisions before applying the review rule.

For a missing-example question, a fresh set kept out of training is a better next check than repeatedly testing the examples just taught. For a reward question, a changed reward can test whether a proposed penalty still works. Accept other tests if the learner can explain what they would learn from either outcome.

Use the self-check to choose a next step

“Shown” means the learner can point to that part of today’s record or explain it to you. “Not yet” identifies a useful next step; it is not a failed grade. Do not turn these marks into a mastery score or compare them with another child’s record.

Finish by asking which investigation they would revisit and why. Keep the notes at home. The worksheet does not require a name, upload, public sharing or an automatically generated parent report.

Keep your record. Choose a new test.

Your notes show what you tried and what you can explain today. A useful next step is to test one case your investigation did not cover.
