Two possible causes
A made-up puddle has less visible liquid later. Add one clue you would want for evaporation and one for soaking.
Try it
- Write evaporation and soaking as two possible explanations for the smaller puddle.
- For each explanation add a clue you would want to check, keeping those wanted clues separate from supplied observations.
- Check the product and say why you kept or changed one part. Tell or show it in your usual way: words, drawing, pointing, signing, typing, dictation or your communication device. Work quietly or privately, pause, ask for a helper, or return later. Sharing and recording are optional.
Grown-up help
Look for: Separate a proposed clue from a recorded observation; do not demand that gas be visible.
Next help: If a wanted clue is described as already observed, mark it “to check” and reread only the actual smaller-puddle observation.
