Session 1 · VOICE: Create Conclusions
Build the three stations
- 10 minChoose your station: breath, fuel or traits. Each group decides one thing a visitor will do with their hands.
- 30 minBuild it: working model, class data graph, a labelled diagram and a 'How sure are we?' card.
- 15 minPractise explaining it to a partner from another station. They ask one tricky question.
Session 2 · VOICE: Evaluate
Open day and review
- 30 minRun the display for whānau, a junior class or the garden team.
- 15 minEvaluate: which result do you trust most and least? What would you measure more carefully next time?
- 10 minReflect: what is one thing you now understand about your own body or about the garden that you did not before? Where will you learn more in health?
Getting started
Use the station checklist and the 'How sure are we?' card template.
Stretch
Write a short guide for the garden team on saving seeds so next year's plants keep the traits they want, and explain why cross-pollination makes that tricky.
Checkpoint
Each station has a hands-on model, real data and at least one stated limitation.
