Student-facing instructions
Your task today is to work in your groups to make your garden model clearer. First, look at your plant journal wall to remember what you've observed. Then, discuss with your group which parts of your model need fixing. Draw your new garden model with labels, add details like where the sun shines or where water comes from. Circle the part you want to fix and explain how this helps people know what plants need to live. Your goal is to show your partner or the class your improved drawing and talk about it.
