# Comparison table worksheet

## Filled teaching example

Reader decision: practice identifying bottles with capacity at least 500 mL and empty weight at most 300 g. These specifications and item names are fictional teaching data. They describe no real tested product.

Table label: Fictional bottle specifications — imaginary teaching data.

| Item | Capacity (mL) | Empty weight (g) | Price (USD) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bottle A | 500 | 260 | 20 |
| Bottle B | 750 | 340 | 25 |
| Bottle C | 600 | Unknown | 22 |

A meets the two teaching thresholds. B exceeds the weight threshold. C has enough capacity but cannot be assessed against the weight threshold. No overall winner follows; other criteria and real observations are absent. Unknown is not zero.

## Reusable display table

Reader decision: [write the specific decision].
Table label: [describe the items, quantities and scope].
Sources and checked dates: [keep in the CSV notes; add relevant dates/conditions near the displayed table].

| Item | Criterion and unit | Criterion and unit | Criterion and unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Item A] | [Value or Unknown] | [Value or Unknown] | [Value or Unknown] |
| [Item B] | [Value or Unknown] | [Value or Unknown] | [Value or Unknown] |

Explain each unknown in nearby text. Replace every bracketed prompt before publication. Use Not applicable only when the criterion does not apply; enter zero only if known. Keep compatible quantities and units down a column, and retain source conditions.

## HTML implementation check

This pipe table is an authoring template, not proof of the HTML saved by an editor. Its nearby table label does not itself create an HTML caption. The separate comparison-table-html.txt file shows original teaching markup with caption, row headers and explicit scope directions. Check the actual published output; no theme or assistive-technology test has been performed for this template.
