Curriculum trust boundary

Starter-map content needs expert review before production trust

Lessons can be explored for MVP coverage and learner-model behaviour, but concepts marked pending, needs revision or blocked must not be treated as fully trusted instruction.

1. Energy

Build secure GCSE / Key Stage 4 understanding of energy in Physics.

A common misconception is treating energy in Physics as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for energy Extension: Extend toward forces and motion once energy is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: Key Stage 3 Science - Repair foundations in Key Stage 3 Science if energy is blocked by earlier knowledge.

Later outcome: A-Level Physics - Stretch energy toward A-Level Physics once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Answer an exam-style Physics question where energy is necessary but not named directly.

Mastery signal: Explains energy in their own words
