Data vs Prediction

This worksheet helps students distinguish between data processing and AI prediction through scenario-based analysis. Learners read examples and decide whether each describes following explicit rules (data processing) or making educated guesses based on patterns (AI prediction). The passage and questions build comprehension of how AI systems “learn” rather than merely compute. Students strengthen reasoning, comparison, and decision-making skills while learning foundational AI logic in clear, age-appropriate language.
