Purpose/product: A small source-based weather/care comparison with a question, not guessed local weather or generic watering advice. K04/S02/S03/S05/S06. Prepare O4, two blank panels and broad dry/wet/source word slips. No soil/water experiment, forecast, outdoors or plant-maintenance job is required.

Invite 3: “What changed in these two notes? What did the people do or plan?” Model 5: O4 says Monday wet soil and path use; Tuesday dry soil and a question to the caretaker. A plan to ask and a missing reply do not establish actual watering. The stated source conditions belong to that invented garden; never prescribe watering for every species or place.

Guide/own 10: Reconstruct the two source situations and keep action, planned question and unknown reply distinct. Let the child choose a useful future care question for this model. If a current classroom/weather observation is offered, date/name what actually occurred; it is a separate record with no inferred historical cause.

Three selectable mechanics:

1. Fold a wet/dry story: Make two source-labelled panels and place a care clue on each; point to the words rather than rely on colour.
2. Direct a paper route: Represent the invented bed and built path using broad shapes; show source-described path use without walking or touching actual soil. Say whose action is described, not performed by the child.
3. Make a question-and-unknown card: Dictate/sign/AAC/type a question for the caretaker and mark what the source does/does not answer. The bench cannot send it or invent a reply.

Compare 4: Connect care choice to source conditions, not “always.” Check 3: “Which care did the note describe? What is still a question?” If wet/dry loses source context, reread each date/condition together; if missing becomes no action, contrast O5's explicitly untried plan with O4's unrecorded reply. Target first-check gaps on this unrelated ordinary source as relevant.
