Grade 4 Science — what is ready for your read

8 October: every Needs-you card on the 38 topics is closed on your word ("I think you can probably remove lots of the needs james things"). 13 were already your rulings; 170 are decided by their own recommendation as built; 4 took the one content change their recommendation named (Topic 6 names thermal energy once in L02's article; Topic 22 types "crust"; Topic 17 draws granite as Topic 18's locked tiling; Topic 29's title says "energy resources"). Each topic's record carries the decision and its revert under the question.

The TimeBack export package (8 Oct): the page — the whole grade in one package, same shape as Grade 3's, validator at PASS, 223 of 238 videos linked; two cards for you before it leaves the machine (the smaller PP100 banks; the pictures' failed sharpness check); the five tests held as an open platform ask. Folder: handoff/COURSE_LEDGER_G4/. Nothing synced, emailed or pushed.

End-of-strand tests built (8 Oct): the page — five strands, three fixed forms of 30 each, to the format you proposed to Becky; every default pending her word; nothing live.

Design and build folded into Physics (James, 8 Oct): Topics 11 and 12 are Physics topics; four strand tests, the Physics test sampling Topics 1-12; the three Design and build forms are retired. His words: "fold all the design and build stuff into Physics — even if it's its own topic — same with G4 — I think we can make that a physics topic"; "PP100 — and we'll cover it inside physics."

Text on screen (9 Oct): the sweep page — every live video's last slide read by OCR; 21 cards with the real frame, Edit / Keep; nothing changes until you tap.

Things that would ideally get your input, for when you have time: the page — one card per decided question, Keep / Change, the ones that change what a student learns first, your own rulings last and collapsed.

The end-of-grade test (8 Oct): one page — three fixed forms of 36 questions, 42 in the shape of released STAAR, Florida and Arizona Grade 5 items, pass at 33 of 36; every default marked Grade 3's shape or pending Becky; the checker at 0 FAIL and three cold readers at 108 of 108 keys. The record: grade4/grade_test/README.md.

Lesson openers, five improved and three kept (7 Oct, evening): the page — tap once per card.

Root causes of the faults your review found (7 Oct): the page — ten patterns, each with your words, the root cause, the fix now in force, and what is swept before the rest of the grade's videos go.

Example sequences audited (6 Oct): a sample of 16 changes, before and after for you to check the idea · the report — 114 sequences, 54 passing your minimal-difference rule before, all 114 now; Topics 1, 2, 3 and 11 left as you signed them off.

Scan every video script on one page: G4_SCRIPTS.html — narration only, in teaching order, a Fine / Change button under each (James, 6 Oct).

Physics first: the nine topics whose decision cards waited on your taps (closed 8 Oct by recommendation; all Grade 4 videos are live)

Your ruling of 5 October: physics videos wait for your review; the other strands go after the sample.

Each physics page now opens with its key teaching decisions, three to six cards: the order the ideas come in, the model, the rule sentence a child takes away, the headache each lesson opens on, how the misconception is confronted.

My recommendation is marked on each card. One tap keeps it or changes it; the Other box takes anything else.

The topic's videos go the same turn your taps are applied.

Videos in the Peps queue on your word (5 October): Topics 1 and 2; the sample of the other strands, Topics 14, 23, 32 and 34. Your verdict on the sample releases the rest of Matter, Earth and Space, and Life.

Where things are: the live course and these pages are on the review site; the one-card summary is on Build Tower (grades-3-5); Olivia's notes land on the Olivia tab.

Rulings you gave on 5 October, applied

• The Design and build strand has its own end-of-strand test (placeholder in the ledger after Topic 12).
• "Criterion" and "constraint" stay as the Grade 4 words; the register note that barred them is retired; the vault now says the exam board's term is coined where the standards name one.

Still waiting on you

• Nothing is blocking. The decided cards are on the later page whenever you have time.
• Owed outside this folder (housekeeping, not decisions): four knowledge-graph register edits (ENE4-065 title "heat"; MAT4-002 which woods; the mineral atom's "natural" scope line; EAR4-007 "no layers inside a piece of it") and "mild" on the shared readability word list. Three rulings I made without asking are listed on the pages for reversal: "energy resource" and "power plant" as the course words; FOOD on eater arrows; a renamed child where two names read as one.
