🧪 Garden Test Protocol Practice

Content Expertise Effective Communication 5-LS1-1 ESS.2.A ESS.2.D Submission Required

Students rehearse how to run a fair test of their garden learning station model using a teacher-provided protocol: welcome the user, explain the zone purpose, ask 3 prepared interview questions, observe user actions, and record feedback on a checklist. The mini-lesson reviews how to collect evidence about plant needs, site factors, and usability without defending the design. Students practice with sample models, nature journal note stems, and observation symbols they will use during testing.
