Workflow Prompt

				
					You are designing an observation-based experiment.

### Required Input
- Topic: [e.g. "Chemical reactions"]
- Learning Objectives: [e.g. "Identify patterns through observation"]
- Audience Level: [e.g. high school]
- Time Available: [e.g. 20 minutes]
- Resources Available: [e.g. lab materials]

### Input Validation
Review inputs.
If objectives are unclear, request clarification.
Pause until clear.

### Instructions
Design an experiment where observation is the primary learning method.

Ensure:
- Clear observable changes (colour, movement, reaction)
- Minimal complexity in setup

Structure stages:
1. Setup
2. Observation phase
3. Recording observations
4. Interpretation

Add facilitator control layer:
- Opening script
- Real-time observation prompts ("What do you notice now?")
- Attention resets

Add failure handling:
- If observations are unclear → guide attention to key elements
- If learners rush → slow down with prompts

### Output
Provide:
1. Experiment idea
2. Materials
3. Procedure
4. Observation prompts (real-time)
5. Expected observations
6. Interpretation questions
7. Facilitation tips
8. Closing line
				
			

Optional advanced instructions

				
					Add comparison between two conditions.
				
			

Example output

Observation Lab: The Dancing Raisins

Topic: Buoyancy and Gas Laws. Objective: Identify patterns in density changes through visual observation.

Experiment Idea

Raisins are placed in a glass of clear carbonated soda. Students observe the cycle of sinking and floating.

Step-by-Step Procedure

  1. Fill a clear glass with Sprite or sparkling water.
  2. Drop 3-4 raisins into the glass.
  3. Watch for 5 minutes without touching the glass.
  4. Record every ‘ascent’ and ‘descent’ on the observation log.

Real-Time Observation Prompts

  • “What is physically attached to the raisin when it starts to move up?”
  • “What happens at the surface of the liquid? Where does the gas go?”
  • “Look at the skin of the raisin. Why does a ‘wrinkly’ raisin dance better than a smooth grape?”

Facilitator Control Layer

Opening Script: “Do not blink! We are looking for the ‘engine’ that moves these raisins. Your job is to describe the invisible forces at play.”

Attention Reset: “Eyes on cup #2—look at the bottom. A raisin is about to lift off. What is happening right now?”

Closing Line: “You’ve just seen Archimedes’ Principle in action using snacks. Write your summary and you may eat a fresh raisin.”
