🧭 Hypothesis and Method Plan Draft

Students write a cause-and-effect hypothesis about how geography in their region shapes what people grow, build, or do for work, then draft a simple method plan for collecting and tracking evidence for the museum walk. The plan includes which sources they will use, how they will record evidence in notebooks or a comparison chart, and how expert information from a park ranger, meteorologist, or Native community representative will be added later. Students create a first sketch of the labels or sections they expect to include on their regional diorama/poster and class atlas page.
