Topic 8 "Strong or weak: drawing a force" — your read (28 September 2026, night)
Three lessons: a stronger push on the same toy car makes a bigger change (the golden pack's Strength lesson, reused); you can't see a push, so you draw it as an arrow that starts on the object and points the way the force acts; a longer arrow shows a stronger force. Read by the author as you, then a non-author review (37 findings, 33 applied) and a cold read of every changed item (29 of 29 keys agreed; two soft spots fixed). Reply by number.
The one that unblocks the bank
1. Does the typed hard type work for you? Your night ruling is applied without asking: the bank's hard item is text entry, the six easy and medium types stay four-option MCQs. The typed exemplar chains two atoms — read an arrow's length as strength, then predict the change:
- Two drawings, headed ZURI'S BALL and NICO'S BALL: the same ball at a start line with a hand behind it; Zuri's arrow is short, Nico's long. Type the name of the child whose ball will roll farther. — accepts Nico / Nico's / Nico's ball.
No numeric type: the topic never puts a number on an arrow. Recommendation: approve; the bank's hard slot (at most eight of about fifty) is generated from this type on fresh children and fresh objects (ball, toy car, sled). Approve / say what else
2. Do the seven question types stand? Seven exemplars on seven types, coverage table with no empty row; type 5 pairs arrow length with arrow direction and type 7 pairs strength with its change, as you asked for pairs. The seven types and the coverage table Approve all / strike these / edit these
The lessons
3. L01 A stronger push makes a bigger change — the pack's toy car pushed gently, then stronger, then strongest, each push's change shown, the three arrows lined up; one pull added in the article (the same wagon pulled gently, then harder). Your ruling tonight kept the pack's three arrow lengths here. Article · script · quiz Fine / say where
4. L02 Draw the force as an arrow — a girl pushes a box you can see, with a push you can't; the arrow starts on the box where her hands push it and points the way the push acts; then a rope pull, Earth's pull, the magnet's pull; then two wrong drawings (the arrow floats; the arrow points the wrong way), each with its question and a NO. The word "force arrow" is coined here. Quiz: the two checks drilled alone, then drawn arrows judged yes / no. Article · script · quiz Fine / say where
5. L03 A longer arrow shows a stronger force — the same box pushed gently then harder, the two arrows lined up by their left ends; the same wagon; then Topic 3's hand-and-ball drawing, re-shown: your pull is stronger than Earth's, so its arrow is longer. The rule ends with "the arrow's length shows how strong the force is, not how big the object is." Article · script · quiz Fine / say where
Two small things only you can settle
6. FOR3-010's behaviour says "Draw an arrow…". The platform has no drawing input, so the topic tests it by recognition (which drawing shows the push; does this arrow show the pull; where does the arrow start) and one written description (where the arrow starts and which way it points). Is that enough for the atom, or should the register's behaviour be reworded to "recognise / describe"? Enough / reword the atom
7. "Change in motion". The pack's approved rule is "The stronger the force, the bigger the change in motion"; "motion" is not coined in this course, so the article says "The car moves more" beside it the first time. Keep the pack's phrase / say "a bigger change in how it moves" throughout
