Title

Tree-pot viewing card

Source kind

Original supplied fiction; provider knowledge is separately attributed. No actual child/local trial or reader success supplied.

Complete neutral source

Complete original fictional tree-pot viewing account. A sealed display sketch P shows brown particles, two leaf pieces and spaces. Its picture window shows no visible animal; organism identity/count, nutrients, water movement and plant growth are not measured. F3 describes soil roles in supporting plants, providing habitat and regulating water. That general account is not a result from this display or proof that a particular pot cleans drinking water. The visitor’s job is to understand two useful soil roles and a view-level limit. A possible later observation plan would keep the sealed display closed, use the same view/window and record visible features; no observation has yet been conducted by the child.

Exact four prompts

• Name two visible features supplied in P, without adding an unseen organism.
• Use F3 to describe one soil role and say what P does not establish about that role.
• What local organism or water result remains unknown in this account?
• With a scaffold, suggest one safe planned viewing step and one thing to keep similar for a new view comparison.
