Rocket tosses twelve sentence cards in the air. They flutter everywhere.
"Oops! Now they are all mixed up," he says.
Raven picks up a card. "What do you notice? Some of these follow the same pattern."
Nova circles the pile. "Sort them by pattern," she says. "Then count each group."
You will sort sentence cards by pattern, like a tiny word sorting model.

Now play a pretend game. One player is the Pattern Helper.
The Pattern Helper may only answer by picking one of the twelve cards.
The other player says something. The Pattern Helper picks a card that fits the pattern.
Sometimes the card fits well. Sometimes it sounds right but makes no sense!
This game is pretend. It does not show exactly how real AI works.
| Lab idea | True or false? |
|---|---|
| The Pattern Helper can feel happy when it picks a card. | ? |
| An answer can sound right but still make no sense. | ? |
| The cards were sorted by their word patterns. | ? |
Wonderful detective work! Tomorrow we compare people and talking tools.
