# Day47 · Make the record tell its story

## Complete source

Ordinary fictional town-display record, not real local soil data. The same described spoon size, 20 mL water addition, filter setup and 2-minute collection window were used for samples labelled R and S. Collected-water entries in mL are R: 6, 8, 7; S: 12, 10, 11. Six separate trials are shown. The notebook does not record plant growth, drinking-water quality, organism counts or long-term field conditions. The display reader asks how much was collected in each recorded trial, not which soil is always best. The adult can use the supplied record without conducting this physical procedure.

## Question

What can a small table and graph show without promising too much?
