Session 1 · VOICE: Create Conclusions
Claim, evidence, reasoning
- 10 minShare sky-watch results from home. What did people see? What got in the way (clouds, streetlights, the Moon)?
- 25 minFinish your product and add a 'How we know' panel: one claim, the evidence from your tests or models, and the reasoning.
- 15 minPractise explaining your product to a partner in under two minutes.
Session 2 · VOICE: Evaluate
Rocks to Stars showcase
- 10 minEvaluate: what does your model get right and what does it leave out? (A scale walk shows distance but not size; a lamp model shows phases but not real distances.)
- 30 minPresent at the showcase: junior classes walk the Solar System trail, whānau use the rock key and sky guide.
- 10 minReflect: what is one thing you now notice about rocks or the sky that you did not before?
Getting started
Present with a partner, using your product as the main visual.
Stretch
Write a short guide so another school can build the same Solar System walk on their own field.
Checkpoint
Each product has a 'How we know' panel and one honest limit of the model or key.
