The model
An Exploration is WSA's unit of work: an investigation built around something genuinely puzzling, with a prediction to make, a test to run and a result that may overturn the prediction.
Its role
It is where learning actually happens. An Exploration is not an activity to complete; it is a question to settle.
Relationships
Explorations sit inside Worlds, advance a pathway, generate the evidence recorded in the Passport, and raise mastery.
In practice
Two identical ramps, one waxed. Predict which car wins and by how much. Then measure, and explain why the margin is not what anyone guessed.
