Explain this diagram or worksheet so I can help someone learn — do not do the assessed work for them.

Subject/year: [details]
What the photo shows: [describe in detail, or I'll upload if the tool can read images]
What they're stuck on: [details]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. What the diagram is showing.
2. The idea behind it in plain words.
3. Questions I should ask them so they do the thinking.
4. What to check in their textbook or notes.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, steps or official URLs you're not sure of. UK English.
