4-I guide
They ask about those who did wrong.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a good question?"
Watch the RicochetScience video Asking Scientific Questions.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who do they ask about?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What can we learn by asking good questions?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 41. The key word al-mujrimin means the wrongdoers. The people of Jannah wonder what happened to those who chose wrong. Asking questions helps us learn, and the answers here teach us what to avoid.
Fact: What is a hypothesis?
Ages 5–8: Question jar. Write three questions about nature and put them in a jar. Pick one to find out.
Ages 9–12: Test it. Choose one question and plan a small experiment to answer it.
Finish with: "I found that a hypothesis is ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask a teacher one question about the Quran."
Action: Ask a teacher one question about the Quran.
