Represent one selected relation. Give the unrecorded part an honest gap.
Complete ordinary first source
Invented Apricot Desk records of the same open patch from the same indoor viewpoint: story Monday morning, visibly wet surface; Monday afternoon, no visible surface water; story Tuesday morning, visibly wet surface; Tuesday afternoon, no visible surface water. The note-maker reports choosing a water-line sketch in each recorded morning and a dry-pattern sketch in each recorded afternoon. Wednesday is not recorded. No cause, temperature, rainfall quantity, local season or multi-year climate record exists here.

Route 47.1 · Pattern ribbon
Use C13 and direct a paper ribbon or spoken chain through the two supplied morning/later pairs. Identify one repeated relation in those selected records, and label the next day unknown. Do not force a next prediction or promise it will repeat.
Say: “Where does a clue repeat? How far does your claim go?”
Route 47.2 · The gap gets a seat
Read C14. Child places an explicit “not recorded” seat between two recorded times, then asks a useful missing-interval question. Keeping the gap is useful work; drawing raindrops in it is not evidence.
Say: “Leave room for the part we don't know.”
Route 47.3 · Choose your organiser
For C13's same chosen question, child selects two-columns, a voiced sequence or directed physical picture positions. Explain one relation through that choice. Changing the organiser is welcome; no tool is superior because it looks more complicated.
Say: “Which organiser helps you show this clue?”
Tell, sign, AAC, point with confirmed meaning, draw, type or direct a helper. Rest, pass or stop. Your grown-up reads the source without supplying your relation. A later note has a separate release, never an automatic result.
