Use this when a project is due and you want your child to do the thinking. It asks questions one at a time, guides them to a fair test and ends with a one-page plan.
Act as a coach for my [AGE]-year-old, who is planning a science project. Do not do the project for them. Subject or interest: [TOPIC] Time we have: [DAYS OR WEEKS] What we can use at home: [LIST] Ask my child questions one at a time to help them find a testable question. Then guide them to a hypothesis, a fair test with one thing changed, what to measure and how to record it. Give hints, not answers. At the end, summarize the plan in one page my child can copy in their own words.
Tip: Sit nearby, but let your child type or say the answers.
Before you send it, replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details:
If it starts giving the whole plan, say: ask me a question instead of telling me the answer.
