Harper is counting parts in the robotics kit inventory, where gear wheels sit in divided trays. The team already agreed that complete bins go back on the rolling cart today. A small axle was just found in the sensor box, not the drivetrain bin. That mistake matters because the next group checks out kits first thing Monday. The inventory sheet has one unchecked line, and the storage cabinet is nearly closed. Harper needs to decide which closing actions actually fix the problem.
Sort the actions into the column where they belong.
| Works | Doesn't Work |
|---|---|
- 1. Put the loose axle in the drivetrain bin before returning the kit.
- 2. Check the sensor box for any other drivetrain pieces.
- 3. Close the cabinet and let Monday's group deal with the extra part.
- 4. Recount the drivetrain bin against the inventory sheet.
- 5. Put the axle in any empty tray so the table looks finished.
- 6. Leave a clear note for the robotics teacher about the moved axle.
Think about it: What would change if Harper returned the kit without checking the sensor box?
