Method Pilot: Test the Test
Sequence outcome: Pilot and revise a simple fair-test method ready for the full rock investigation.
🎯 Learning objective: I can carry out or direct a small method pilot, identify a procedural problem and revise the plan ready for W14.
✅ Success criteria
- Follow the pilot checklist using one practice route, not final A/B comparison samples.
- Record a method observation or fault without turning the pilot value into a rock conclusion.
- Make one precise revision and issue an honest ready, repair or digital-route decision for W14.

🚪 Arrival · retrieve last lessonRetrieve only what has already been taught
- In Explore, the W14 plan changed only final sample code, measured collected water and kept volume, time, area, thickness and apparatus controlled.
- Prior week: point to or describe one useful model.
- Older learning: what makes an observation useful as evidence?
- Lead-in: what do you notice in today’s first picture?
New to this class, absent, or not sure? Everything needed is in the retrieval box above. Read it, point to it or ask a familiar adult to read it exactly.
◆ Supported
- Last lesson: point to PILOT on your method plan.
- Last lesson: choose practice sample or final A/B samples for today's route.
- Last lesson: point to one safety stop.
- Lead-in: choose repair or conclude when a practice seal leaks.
▲ Standard
- Last lesson: what is the difference between pilot and final investigation?
- Last lesson: name one control the pilot should check.
- Last lesson: why must final A/B result cells stay blank today?
- Lead-in: what makes a method revision precise enough for another person to follow?
★ Stretch
- Last lesson: explain procedural validity without using the word correct.
- Last lesson: identify one fault that could bias collected-water volume.
- Last lesson: explain why practice and final samples must stay clearly labelled.
- Lead-in: distinguish a method-failure observation from a permeability conclusion.

🌱 Starter · create the need to knowPilot P1 uses one practice sample. One millilitre leaks around the collar edge. What should happen next?
LOCAL VISUAL HOOK · FRAME 1
PILOT · one practice run
Test the METHOD, not the rock. The number from a pilot is not a result.
LOCAL VISUAL HOOK · FRAME 2
FIND the fault
Water ran down the edge. The seal failed. That is a method fault.
LOCAL VISUAL HOOK · FRAME 3
REPAIR, then decide
Fix the method, not the number. Then say: ready, repair, or digital route.
Commit one first idea. Predictions are held, not marked. Pointing, selecting, saying or signing all count.
Choose one idea. The lesson will test it; nothing is scored or saved.

WHAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT SHOW
A successful pilot only shows that the procedure can be followed and recorded under practice conditions. It does not prove the final samples will produce a pattern or answer the investigation question.
Step 1
Keep final Samples A and B out of the pilot. Use one clearly labelled practice sample or the fixed pilot log so today cannot become the full comparison.
Step 2
Follow the checklist: stable tray, seal check, 5 mL, timer ready, 120 seconds, collector in mL, stop rule and clear recording box.
Step 3
Record procedure evidence such as seal held, timer clear or unit missing. The pilot value is not used to decide which final rock is more permeable.
Word help keeps the scientific term visible and adds a plain-language bridge.

Everyone commits before explanation.
Use a button, point, say/sign or let an adult operate the chosen button. A retry is information, not a penalty.

👩🏫 I Do 2 · connect the second ideaConnect the model to the second idea
Connection: the model is useful when its visible pattern is translated into a scientific explanation.
Connection 1
Compare method version 1 with version 2. Highlight the exact changed instruction, such as check the seal all the way around before adding water.
Connection 2
Run a readiness check: can another person identify the practice sample, volume, time, unit, collector, stop rule and blank final table without asking what you meant?
Connection 3
Issue one decision: READY FOR W14, REPAIR THEN REVIEW or USE FIXED DIGITAL/DATA ROUTE. None of these decisions includes a final permeability conclusion.
MODEL STRENGTH
Use: The pilot showed __. This affects the method because __. We revised __ to __. For W14, the route is __.
MODEL LIMIT
A successful pilot only shows that the procedure can be followed and recorded under practice conditions. It does not prove the final samples will produce a pattern or answer the investigation question.

✏️ Independent · evidence of learningCarry out or analyse one practice pilot, record a method fault or successful check, revise the method and issue a W14 readiness decision without a final rock conclusion.
👐 Physical route
One clearly labelled staff-prepared practice rig or fixed pilot log; stable tray; 5 mL needle-free tool; 120-second timer; collector; wipes; method V1/V2 sheet; readiness card.
Same outcome: I can carry out or direct a small method pilot, identify a procedural problem and revise the plan ready for W14.
🖥 Offline digital / director route
Use fixed pilot P1/P2 records: P1 edge leak and missing unit; V2 adds seal check and mL heading; P2 seal holds. Make the same revision and readiness decision.
Same evidence: Pilot checklist, one procedure observation or fault, method V1 and visibly revised V2, safety/access decision, W14 readiness card and a statement of what the pilot cannot conclude.
🧰 Equipment / setupOne clearly labelled staff-prepared practice rig or fixed pilot log; stable tray; 5 mL needle-free tool; 120-second timer; collector; wipes; method V1/V2 sheet; readiness card.
🛡 Safety / sensoryOnly staff build and approve a practice rig. No final A/B samples are used. No hammering, chipping, scratching, licking, tasting, smelling or dust blowing. Stop for leaks, instability, damage, flaking, dust or unclear measurement. The fixed pilot-log/director route is full participation.
🖥 Offline parityUse fixed pilot P1/P2 records: P1 edge leak and missing unit; V2 adds seal check and mL heading; P2 seal holds. Make the same revision and readiness decision.
No-equipment/access route: Use printed pilot cards and method V1/V2 strips. An adult moves or scribes exactly as directed; no water or rock handling is required.
◆ Supported
Sequence the practice steps, choose one fault card and one matching repair, then select ready, review or fixed route for W14.
Scaffold
Use: The pilot showed __. We changed __. For W14 we will __.
▲ Standard
Complete the pilot log, justify one precise revision and issue an evidence-based readiness decision.
Scaffold
Keep method observation, revision and readiness in separate boxes; leave final conclusion blank.
★ Stretch
Evaluate whether the revision fixes the identified fault without creating a new variable, then specify the W14 approval conditions.
Scaffold
Explain why a successful pilot increases procedural confidence but not confidence in a final sample pattern.
