Use changed assumptions, new calculations and evidence comparisons to support a biological conclusion.
These 22 original public cases include reinforcement and transfer practice. Give a response and explanation before reading feedback, then revise your reasoning. A matching selection or number checks only the stated claim; it does not automatically evaluate the explanation.
Each case retains its first response, latest response, up to three attempts and known feedback exposure through science backups. Explanation drafts are saved too, but remain editable after feedback. Returning to a lesson or importing an older backup does not create a fresh assessment attempt. The cases and keys are inspectable in a browser; this is not a secure examination or independent certification.
The original and expanded sets are summarized separately. Added cases do not alter earlier response records or lesson achievements. Unattempted cases are not evidence of understanding, and these summaries award no course mastery.

Review reasoning as well as answers
For a mismatch, state which mechanism or assumption you overlooked before retrying. For a match, answer the further challenge without copying feedback. Current explanation drafts may include later learning; they are not evidence of what you knew before exposure.
Identify the relevant observation, calculation or comparison.
Explain the mechanism connecting it to the claim.
State assumptions, a limitation and a plausible alternative.
Describe evidence that would change the conclusion, or apply the reasoning to a fresh case.
A reviewer should examine these explanations alongside the seed-growth project and a new problem or dataset. Public answers alone do not establish independent reasoning or practical technique. Science backup export includes the current explanation text for review and revision.
Science work is stored locally in this browser, separately from mathematics and AI. It does not sync automatically. Use this science-only backup; this checkout's older all-subject export does not include science.
A legacy file is available only when the complete snapshot fits the 36 MB limit. For larger snapshots, prepare a complete file set below; never discard notebooks to make a smaller file.
Matching imported notebook drafts replace their current drafts. Omitted lessons and known first attempts remain. Export your current work first if you want to retain both drafts.
Complete file sets and course backups
A file set can hold more work than one science file. Keep its manifest and every part together. Each file is limited to 36 MB. This format needs this version of LearnAI or a compatible newer version; older versions can use only the legacy single-file backup above.
The set includes every saved science course and global continuation at this moment. Later edits need a new export. A conflicting tab exports its own visible work, which may differ from saved work in another tab.
0 file(s) selected. File order and filenames do not determine identity. Missing, changed or conflicting parts block the entire restore; no good part is applied by itself.
