Week 3 · Five subjects · One mystery
The Moonwell is fading before the Lantern Bloom. Audit the water, trace the sediment, decode the archive, rebuild the channel, and write a stewardship charter.
A calculation finds the anomaly. Field measurements locate it. Historical sources explain it. Prototype tests repair it. Civic reasoning protects the recovery.
20 minutes
Math · Data reasoning
Use a balance equation to compare expected and measured change.
Make
A water-balance audit
Story handoff: Your audit clears the villagers of careless overuse. The missing water points toward the old North Channel, where fresh clay clouds the stream.
20 minutes
Earth science · Field investigation
Use multiple observations to locate a sediment source and separate evidence from alarm.
Make
A field science claim
Story handoff: The field note locates a collapsed bank, but an archive map marks the same place with a forgotten crescent gate. The mystery is older than the storm.
25 minutes
Language arts · Historical sources
Compare source proximity, purpose, and corroboration before making a historical claim.
Make
A source reliability brief
Story handoff: Your brief reveals the forgotten solution: restore a settling channel before the Moonwell inlet. The Forge can now test designs against the original purpose.
25 minutes
Engineering · Environmental design
Judge prototypes against several constraints and choose the evidence-backed tradeoff.
Make
A channel design recommendation
Story handoff: The rebuilt channel clears the Moonwell model while keeping water moving. One decision remains: how should the recovering flow be shared during dry weeks?
25 minutes
Ecology · Civics
Balance human and ecosystem needs with a transparent, revisable allocation rule.
Make
A Moonwell stewardship charter
Story handoff: The council signs the charter. The Lantern Bloom opens beside a bright Moonwell, a repaired channel, and a rule the whole village can inspect and improve.
Attempts stay on this device. Finished days remain finished, and each artifact records the learner’s chosen challenge depth without becoming an official grade.
