Break has just finished. The yard still holds clues about what happened there.
Our question for today is what the yard can tell us, what the people who were there can tell us, and how sure we can be of each.
What do you think break has left behind in our yard?
Let's find out what the yard can tell us about break, and how we look for it.
We go into the yard with the yard sheet. Stay inside the school grounds.
If it is too wet to go out, we use the made-up yard drawing on our sheet instead.
Back in class: what traces of break did we record today? What kind of trace is each one?
Then we set the traces beside memory: what we remember of break.

Here are five made-up statements about a break in another school's yard.
Which box does each card belong in?
Why is that box the best fit?
