Mina planted three bean seeds in separate cups. She placed one cup in sunlight, one in a cupboard, and one by a cool window. Each morning she measured the sprouts and wrote down what changed. After five days, the sunny sprout was tallest, but Mina knew she needed more trials before making a strong conclusion.

Answer and review guide
Accept equivalent explanations when the reasoning is accurate. Open-ended tasks include review criteria instead of a single model answer.
1. Three bean seeds.
2. The amount of light or the location/temperature.
3. The sprouts' measurements and changes.
4. The sprout in sunlight.
5. One short test is not enough evidence for a strong conclusion.
6. Answers will vary; the title should describe Mina's bean-seed investigation.

What to notice and say next
Look for
- •Answers match details or reasonable inferences from the passage.
- •Ideas are complete enough for the selected grade band.
- •A revision improves clarity, detail, spelling, or structure.
Common mix-up
A learner may answer from memory or opinion without locating supporting text.
Support without telling
Ask the learner to draw or label one example, then explain the next step aloud. Ask: "Which word or sentence gives you the strongest clue?"
Ready for more
Ask for a second piece of evidence or a new question that the passage can answer.
Using Core layout
Offer the printed hints only when the learner reaches a specific sticking point.
Change the response route or page presentation while keeping the learning goal visible. This support choice is not a diagnosis, placement decision, or permanent learner label.
Suggested introduction: Good readers return to the words for clues. Underline or point to the sentence that supports each answer.
Use this page as practice evidence and conversation support, not as a diagnosis, placement test, or standalone grade.
