ENHANCING SCIENTIFIC LITERACY: A RESOURCE FOR TEACHERS
Why this work is in the frame
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Abstract
The standard science curriculum is meant to familiarize students with basic concepts in biology, chemistry, and physics. We do not dispute the necessity of this – indeed, a strong grasp of the fundamentals will facilitate the understanding of intermediate and advanced topics later on. Unfortunately, the evaluative approaches in these courses often misinform students of what it means to be a scientist. Students, especially those interested in biology, may be tempted to correlate scientific potential with the ability to retain and recall information for an exam. But that’s not science. As a professor once said at a first-year biology seminar, “We do a good job of teaching you the ‘what’. But we gloss over the ‘how’and the ‘why’.”

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
