問題

セクション1：修理と再利用：体験記の情報・推論

When Kai arrived at the science room, the team already had a clear objective: to understand how sound works. Working with radios, they eventually produced a repair record. Kai contributed a notebook. The team later shared its experience with another group, emphasizing a decision that changed how they approached the work.

Before replacing anything, the group checked whether the problem could be fixed safely. Some objects required only a small adjustment. Others had damage that beginners could not repair. These were set aside for an expert. The organizer explained that keeping an object in use was worthwhile only when it remained safe. Reducing waste did not justify ignoring the limits of the group's skills.

セクション2：発表と協力：メールの情報・推論

Dear project members, Thank you for helping us tell a local story. At our meeting at the theater, we worked with short plays and prepared a stage plan. Sam supplied a costume. Before our next meeting, please consider the following account of a problem we encountered and how we responded.

During preparation, the loudest members made most of the decisions. The group tried collecting written suggestions before discussion. This brought forward ideas from members who rarely spoke. Some suggestions conflicted, so the group still needed to discuss priorities. The new method did not remove disagreement; it made more people's views available before a decision was made.

セクション3：庭づくり：報告書の情報・推論

This report concerns a project at the kitchen garden. The team, including Mina, aimed to learn about different smells by working with herbs. One visible outcome was an herb label. Resources included a small pot. The report focuses on how the team revised its approach after reviewing what happened during the first session.

The group compared two plots. One received regular care, while the other was checked only occasionally. More plants survived in the first plot. However, the plots also received different amounts of sunlight. The group therefore avoided claiming that the care schedule alone explained the difference. For the next comparison, they planned to use plots with similar light conditions.

セクション5：自然観察：体験記の情報・推論

When Haruto arrived at the beach, the team already had a clear objective: to learn about the sea. Working with shells, they eventually produced a shell drawing. Haruto contributed a pencil. The team later shared its experience with another group, emphasizing a decision that changed how they approached the work.

The group kept records of what they saw and where they looked. On one visit, they saw very few examples, but heavy rain had shortened the observation period. They did not interpret the low count as proof of a permanent change in the area. They decided to record the weather and time spent looking so that later comparisons would account for differences in observation conditions.
