Stump Gemini

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 5-7 to develop critical thinking, inquiry skills, and digital literacy by exploring how artificial intelligence responds to complex or confusing questions. Students create challenging prompts to ask Google Gemini, examine the AI’s responses, and analyze whether the answers appear confident, cautious, incomplete, or unclear. Through reflection, learners gain insight into both the strengths and limitations of AI reasoning and comprehension.

Learning Goals

• Critical Thinking & Reasoning (Grades 5-7) – Evaluate the quality and reliability of AI-generated responses.
• Inquiry & Question Development – Write thoughtful, abstract, or challenging questions designed to test understanding.
• Digital Literacy & AI Awareness – Recognize where AI performs well and where it may struggle or hedge.
• Understanding AI Concepts – Reflect on what AI responses reveal about machine reasoning versus human thinking.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to align with upper-elementary and middle school ELA and technology standards.
• High-Engagement Format – Encourages curiosity and experimentation with real-world AI tools.
• Reflection-Based Analysis – Promotes thoughtful discussion about confidence, uncertainty, and limitations in AI outputs.
• Flexible Use – Ideal for STEM integration, digital literacy lessons, enrichment activities, or group discussion.

This printable worksheet helps students become more informed and skeptical users of artificial intelligence by actively testing and analyzing AI responses. By designing questions and reflecting on how AI answers them, learners strengthen inquiry, reasoning, and evaluative thinking skills. Suitable for classroom or homeschool use, this no-prep activity supports responsible technology use while deepening students’ understanding of what AI can-and cannot-do.
