## Title

Lunchbox making trail

## Complete source

Fictional lunchbox display: a clean foil sheet package says aluminium. The sheet is folded, and no maker or mine location is listed. F1 links bauxite to the industrial aluminium-making route. No food-contact, heat or leak trial is supplied.

## Invitation

Make a tiny resource-to-object trail for a lunchbox-label reader. Choose paper drawing, spoken/AAC or a literal Desk note.

## Ordinary possible response

The package names aluminium; F1 links its production with bauxite. I see a fold in this sheet.

## Boundary

A fold is not a food-safety or local-mine result.

## Next try

Try a different useful job for the same named metal, keeping its actual evidence boundary.

## Id

C02

## Title

Costume star clue

## Complete source

Fictional costume studio: a shiny star drawing is labelled made-paper model; a separate foil scrap has an aluminium package label. The star has no material certificate.

## Invitation

Choose which statement belongs to which object and put a source label next to it.

## Ordinary possible response

The model star is paper in the source; the labelled scrap is aluminium. Shine alone does not identify either.

## Boundary

Do not identify material from colour or shine; do not infer real wearability.

## Next try

Offer a dull-looking supplied aluminium drawing and ask what a label can establish that appearance cannot.

## Id

C03

## Title

Repair-museum sequence

## Complete source

Fictional museum cards list bauxite ore, alumina, aluminium metal and rolled foil; order and process are supplied from F1. A fifth manufacturer-space is empty.

## Invitation

Arrange the four cards and explain one name change to a visitor.

## Ordinary possible response

The ore and foil have different names because the source describes processing and making stages.

## Boundary

The display does not reveal a manufacturer or demonstrate refining.

## Next try

Choose one question for the empty manufacturer-space without inventing a supplier.

## Id

C04

## Title

Rock components postcard

## Complete source

Fictional postcard has a rock outline filled with big pale/dark paper blocks. Historical U02 E3 describes minerals as rock components; no component names are given here.

## Invitation

Write or direct a components caption and a question about the unnamed blocks.

## Ordinary possible response

The paper blocks model components; this picture cannot name their minerals.

## Boundary

A paper block is not a real grain or identified mineral.

## Next try

Compare a second differently coloured model while keeping both identities open.

## Id

C05

## Title

Folded desk sign

## Complete source

Fictional shop sign plan records a labelled foil strip bent into a curve. It needs a curved label, and the source records bending into that drawn curve only.

## Invitation

Link the recorded property to the chosen sign job in one explanation.

## Ordinary possible response

The supplied strip bends into the planned curve, which matters for this curved label.

## Boundary

No strength, outdoor life or food-use evidence is supplied.

## Next try

Choose a new need that bending does not answer, such as standing in wind, and leave a test question.

## Id

C06

## Title

Lamp-wire diagram

## Complete source

Fictional reading-corner drawing labels a coil copper and shows no powered circuit. F2 links copper's electrical conduction to wiring.

## Invitation

Give a source-supported wiring explanation without pretending the drawing is a test.

## Ordinary possible response

F2 describes copper as a good electrical conductor used for wiring; this diagram did not measure it.

## Boundary

No mains, disassembly, battery experiment or observed conductivity is invited.

## Next try

Explain the difference between a provider property and a feature you can actually see in the diagram.

## Id

C07

## Title

Pot label with more than plants

## Complete source

Fictional balcony display sketch shows leaf bits and spaces in sealed soil material. F3 describes soil roles for organisms and water as well as plants.

## Invitation

Choose two roles for a visitor's fold-out card and one specimen question.

## Ordinary possible response

Soils can provide habitat and regulate water; the source supports the general roles.

## Boundary

The drawing gives no organism count, local water result or growth result.

## Next try

Ask what observation would help tell who lives in one actual pot, without opening it now.

## Id

C08

## Title

Empty habitat window

## Complete source

Fictional nature-table card shows a sealed soil view with no visible worm. The accompanying F3 role card describes soil habitats.

## Invitation

Make a careful caption for the empty-looking view.

## Ordinary possible response

No worm is visible in this supplied view; that does not show that soil cannot be habitat.

## Boundary

Absence in a small view is not a survey of all organisms.

## Next try

Offer a separate fictional close-up with a labelled organism and compare only the recorded views.

## Id

C09

## Title

Rain-role notice

## Complete source

Fictional display writer says soil can regulate water, citing F3, and wants a water-role note. No filtered-water safety record is present.

## Invitation

Make a useful role note with a clear open question.

## Ordinary possible response

Soil water roles matter, but this record does not show our water is safe to drink.

## Boundary

No tasting, filtration-for-drinking activity or pot-specific claim.

## Next try

Choose what a suitable adult expert source would need to report for a different water question.

## Id

C10

## Title

Graphite industrial clue

## Complete source

A fictional electronics exhibition uses a source-labelled text card F5. The 2017 USGS publication describes graphite properties relevant to electronics and lubricants. No mine/rank or current-market data is adopted.

## Invitation

Give one source-described use relationship for the exhibition reader.

## Ordinary possible response

F5 links graphite properties with industrial uses; the exhibit is a text explanation, not a working device.

## Boundary

No battery disassembly, powder handling or pencil composition claim comes from this card.

## Next try

Ask for a more specific safely readable product-source label instead of guessing every device contains natural graphite.

## Id

C11

## Title

Interval walk on paper

## Complete source

Fictional tape diagram has zero, 1, 2, 3, 4 cm marks and a paper label spanning zero to four. Five tick marks bound four intervals.

## Invitation

Use large paper steps or pointing to show the measured length.

## Ordinary possible response

The span is 4 cm: I count the intervals from zero, not all five marks.

## Boundary

Diagram reading is not measurement of an actual rock or scaled instrument operation.

## Next try

Measure a different actual paper strip with a familiar ruler if supervised and wanted; keep its own record.

## Id

C12

## Title

Drawn parcel bases

## Complete source

Fictional parcel drawings P and Q have printed base labels 3 cm and 5 cm. Print-size changes do not change the supplied recorded labels.

## Invitation

Compare the supplied drawn bases and label the evidence source.

## Ordinary possible response

Q is 2 cm longer than P in this supplied record; I have not measured actual parcels.

## Boundary

No weight, strength or actual object dimension follows.

## Next try

Offer actual large paper shapes and write a prediction before obtaining their own ruler readings.

## Id

C13

## Title

Repair table units

## Complete source

Fictional display notebook lists sample A, trial1, collected water8 mL; sample B, trial1, collected water12 mL. It supplies no centimetres.

## Invitation

Repair a table that wrongly labels its last column Length/cm.

## Ordinary possible response

The column is Collected water/mL because those are the quantities supplied.

## Boundary

A numeric difference alone does not identify the measured quantity.

## Next try

Try an unrelated parcel-length table and choose its actual quantity/unit before graphing.

## Id

C14

## Title

A question bigger than its data

## Complete source

Complete original fictional garden card, not local soil data. In one supplied trial, samples P and Q use the same described spoon size, each receives20 mL water, and the same filter setup and2-minute collection window are used. The labelled collected-water entries are P4 mL and Q9 mL. A visitor asks which soil grows the tallest tomatoes. No plant-growth, soil-quality, organism-count or drinking-water entries exist; no real child conducted this trial.

## Invitation

Give a useful response that shows both a supported comparison and missing evidence.

## Ordinary possible response

In this supplied single trial, P collected4 mL and Q9 mL, so P’s recorded amount is5 mL less under the stated setup. These are collected-water outputs, not tomato heights. I cannot rank tomato growth from this record.

## Boundary

Collected water is not a universal soil-quality score.

## Next try

Propose a specific separate growth question and suitable longer evidence; no plant result is invented.

## Id

C15

## Title

Library signal plan

## Complete source

Fictional library display code says Circle = shelf needs review and Square = review complete. The log shows Circle at10:00, future10:30 blank.

## Invitation

Explain the current plan decision using the whole supplied code.

## Ordinary possible response

Circle tells the reader to review this shelf under this fictional plan; later completion is unknown.

## Boundary

This is an ordinary reasoning analogue, not a soil sensor or a real library event.

## Next try

Choose a question for the next record that would distinguish planned from completed work.

## Id

C16

## Title

Transport-board next record

## Complete source

Fictional depot sign shows current red card = inspect the display label, blue = label inspected. The next row has no entry.

## Invitation

Make a current decision and a next-record question.

## Ordinary possible response

The red record supports the inspect-label plan; I need the later entry before saying it was inspected.

## Boundary

Do not promise transport safety or identify an actual depot.

## Next try

Use another invented code with an explicitly different legend and reread it before deciding.

## Id

C17

## Title

Source-hidden revision

## Complete source

Fictional two captions: version1 says “This rock came from here”; version2 says “The supplied drawing does not name a quarry.” Neither names an actual place.

## Invitation

Choose a keep/change/open reason for a display reader.

## Ordinary possible response

I prefer the bounded second caption because it does not invent a local quarry.

## Boundary

No caption establishes real location or mining permission.

## Next try

Add a reviewed public source date if one is actually available; otherwise keep location open.

## Id

C18

## Title

Silence is not a review

## Complete source

Fictional show invitation has no reader response. The owner wonders whether the trail was useful.

## Invitation

Write an honest feedback record and a possible invitation.

## Ordinary possible response

No feedback was supplied. I could ask a willing reader what they understand about my source.

## Boundary

A silent or imagined reader is not evidence of uptake, access success or agreement.

## Next try

Use one actual consensual question if available, then distinguish that reply from your own design choice.

## Id

C19

## Title

Two jobs, same resource

## Complete source

Fictional maker chooses a source-labelled aluminium foil backdrop or a source-labelled aluminium-can diagram; F1 names both general uses. No specific product performance is tested.

## Invitation

Choose a job and explain what source and further observation would help.

## Ordinary possible response

The same named metal has different uses; my chosen job needs its own evidence.

## Boundary

Do not transfer a folding observation to can strength or recycling outcomes.

## Next try

Make a second explanation for the other reader with a different open question.

## Id

C20

## Title

A trail worth keeping

## Complete source

Fictional folio contains an owner-chosen soil-role card citing F3 and an empty local-observation page. It is ready for a private reader but not a completed field study.

## Invitation

Give one supported feature to keep and a new question.

## Ordinary possible response

I will keep the source-linked habitat role and leave local organism observations open.

## Boundary

Keeping a feature is legitimate; no annual mastery or local result is claimed.

## Next try

Choose one small future evidence job with adult review and a different product, such as a water-role bookmark.
