# Teacher’s guide

Six guides for Brazilian upper-secondary education, connecting Biology and
Physics within Natural Sciences. Initial technical version: **teacher review
pending**. Times are planning suggestions, without a classroom pilot. The
curriculum associations below are the authors’ proposals, not MEC endorsement.

## Start here

1. Open the laboratory. Preserve important work by exporting its JSON.
2. Choose a lesson under **One-click experiments**. Switching saves a named
   checkpoint of the previous terrarium and opens paused A/B worlds; if saving
   fails, switching does not occur.
3. Record a hypothesis before resuming. A/B advance together; later interventions
   affect both. Always compare the same model day.
4. To accelerate, pause and use **Advance without rendering**, with the same
   destination for the pair. An exhausted budget gives a partial state, not the
   requested day.
5. Record seed, version, scenario, day, measurements and limitations; preserve
   checkpoints or export JSON. When finished, restore **Antes da aula**.

Each displayed day belongs to the accelerated model, not a real species. Prepared
recipes do not reconstruct colony history. Pore water is not relative air humidity.

## Guides

- [Trails, wind and local decisions](trilhas-e-vento.md): 35–40 min.
- [Friction, repose and loose soil](repouso-e-terra.md): 35–40 min.
- [Geometry and nest air](entradas-e-ar.md): 40–45 min.
- [Temperature and development](prole-e-temperatura.md): 40–45 min.
- [Founding and energy budget](fundacao-e-energia.md): 40–45 min.
- [Predictability, intervention and inheritance](seed-e-heranca.md): 45–50 min.

On GitHub, open the corresponding .md files in this directory. HTML pages are
generated from those same files during the build, with no second editable page
copy. The [local microclimate guide](microclima-local.md) is supplementary and
predates this kit.

## Proposed curriculum associations

Reference consulted on 2 November 2026: [complete BNCC, MEC](https://basenacionalcomum.mec.gov.br/images/BNCC_EI_EF_110518_versaofinal_site.pdf).
Pages below are PDF positions counted from 1.

- EM13CNT101, p. 557: quantitative relations of matter, energy and movement; guides 2,3,5.
- EM13CNT202, p. 559: organization of life and environmental conditions; guides 1,4,5,6.
- EM13CNT203, p. 559: consequences of ecological interventions; guides 1,4,5,6.
- EM13CNT205, p. 559: uncertainty and forecast limitations; guide 6.
- EM13CNT301, p. 561: formulating and testing hypotheses against records; all guides.
- EM13CNT302, p. 561: communicating analyses through different representations; all guides.

Codes suggest possible activities; a single lesson neither certifies full mastery
of a skill nor replaces the school network’s curriculum.

## Formative assessment and review

Ask for a one-page record: hypothesis, controlled comparison, table or drawing
with day and unit, a supported conclusion and one model limitation. Suggested
rubric, 0–2 per item: testable hypothesis; comparable record; data-supported
argument; recognition of limitations. Do not reward only agreement with the
teacher’s hypothesis. Results without differences count.

For review, use [the review form](revisao-docente.md): six forms have no submitted
opinion. Real Biology and Physics teachers are needed; no review, SUS, pre/post-test
or educational validation has occurred. Send suggestions without student data.

## Prepare an offline lesson

In the [public laboratory](https://viveiro.ersolucoesweb.com.br/?lang=en), open a
version and choose **Prepare for offline use**. Wait for **Ready to open offline**
before leaving. Reopen that version’s address; external catalogs and links still
require a connection. Compatible browsers offer app installation in their menu.

Checkpoints stay local to the same browser and origin. Exporting JSON transfers
a copy to another origin. **Remove offline copy** removes only this version’s
files, preserving checkpoints. Browsers can reclaim storage; local copies do not
replace exports. The private Site remains online to preserve authentication;
offline mode belongs to the public version.
