The paperwork nobody had to do
Six weeks of Mariella's life, filed as evidence. No lesson plans were written to produce any of this.
Where the evidence actually falls
Weighted by the depth of each logged moment and the time spent on it, not by how many boxes were ticked.
Pick a subject, see the proof
- Rebuilt the bridge until it held the cat6 July
Iterative structural testing. She changed one variable at a time and kept the failed versions to compare against.
- Counted swifts over the field for twenty minutes5 July
Repeated observation and tally. She noticed a pattern in where they return, which is the beginning of a hypothesis.
- Scaled the flapjack recipe by one and a half4 July
Fractions and unit scaling in a real constraint. She chose to write it down rather than estimate, which is new this month.
- Took the broken radio apart, labelled every piece2 July
Systematic disassembly with her own documentation method. Nobody suggested the labelling.
- Built a working sluice gate in the stream29 June
Direct encounter with flow rate. She hit a genuine surprise and stayed with it rather than moving on.
- Museum: spent the whole visit in one room26 June
Depth over breadth again. She interviewed an adult expert unprompted, which is research behaviour.
16 logged moments carry science evidence.
Inspection ready
Formatted to the shape local authorities ask for: a philosophy statement, subject coverage, and dated evidence with a written rationale for each entry.
