Added Reality Check for AI as one six-experiment scientific-method module and lab across AI Literacy and Curiosity, with step-based Notebook and source-backed verification materials.

Added Reality Check for AI as a shared Draft module for AI Literacy for the Rest of Us and Invitation To Be Curious Again.

What changed

  • Preserved the supplied scientific-method framing instead of turning the module into prompt engineering.
  • Combined six proposed experiments into one connected lab package.
  • Added a learner Activity with the six experiment prompts, repeatable recording loop, and mixed verification claims; an optional step-based Lab Notebook; and delayed-reveal source notes.
  • Added a facilitator guide, worked walk-through, gallery model, companion article, and truthfully Deferred video record.
  • Linked the module and lab through both tracks, the module and lab indexes, and the relationship map without selecting a required AI Literacy route.
  • Grounded the factual examples in inspectable NASA, Smithsonian, NOAA, and U.S. Geological Survey sources.

Evidence boundary

The package is Draft / Drafting. Automated and rendered checks can verify structure, source coverage, links, material placement, and Notebook alignment. They cannot establish factual-review completion, learning effectiveness, mixed-age fit, accessibility in practice, timing, or pilot readiness.
