Get exactly 3 numbered questions, each under 15 words and easy for a 12-year-old to read, then an 'Answers' line with short answers, plain text so it pastes into your slide. One question must check the misconception you targeted today, and stay within today's lesson (no Calvin cycle or chloroplast parts).","materialLabel":"Your lesson plan notes (attached to your prompt automatically)","material":"SCIENCE 7 - Ms. Gutierrez - Lesson 3.4 Photosynthesis - Tuesday\n\nObjective: Students can explain where a plant's food (sugar) comes from.\n\nKey ideas taught today:\n- Plants make their own food (sugar) through photosynthesis.\n- Ingredients: carbon dioxide (from the air) + water (from the roots) + light energy (from the sun)\n- Products: sugar (food for the plant) and oxygen (released into the air)\n- Most of a plant's mass comes from carbon dioxide in the AIR, not from the soil.\n\nTARGET MISCONCEPTION: Most kids think plants get their food from the soil. We did the van Helmont willow tree story: the tree gained about 74 kg in 5 years, but the soil lost only a tiny amount. Soil gives water and some minerals, NOT food.\n\nNOT taught yet (8th grade / high school): Calvin cycle, light-dependent reactions, chloroplast structure (thylakoid, stroma), ATP. Do not include.\n\nReading levels: about a third of my 4th period reads below grade level. Keep wording short and simple.\n\nExit ticket goes on the last slide. Students answer on sticky notes, 5 min max.\nReminder: lab safety contracts due Friday.","rules":[{"type":"questionCount","count":3},{"type":"maxWords","max":80},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Not saying how many questions","why":"The AI picks its own number, and it usually picks more questions than you need.","fix":"Be exact: \"Exactly 3 numbered questions.\"","checks":["questionCount"]},{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"AI is bad at counting.
