Explain a difficult idea
Use this when a definition feels too abstract. Ask for a plain-language explanation, a concrete example, and a short check for understanding.
Adaptable template
Explain [concept] for someone who knows [starting point]. Use one everyday example, define unfamiliar terms, and finish with one question that checks my understanding. Do not give the answer to the check question until I try.Try it yourself
Input example
Replace the template with: “Explain evaporation to a 10-year-old using a wet towel.”
Do this
Send the prompt, answer its check question, then request correction of one specific misunderstanding.
Check your result
A useful explanation says liquid water becomes water vapor; it does not claim all evaporation requires boiling.
Limits
An analogy leaves details out. Ask where the towel analogy stops being accurate.
