✅ Investigation Gate Conference

Each team meets briefly with the teacher to defend its question, controls, evidence plan, and safety choices using its revised blueprint, source notes, and rubric language. Teams must explain how their method can produce usable evidence, what anomalies they might watch for, and how their findings could inform a community mural proposal. Approved teams move forward with a finalized materials request and lab report outline; teams not yet ready revise during the remaining time.
