🛠️ Cup Garden Build Steps

The teacher models the build sequence with a clear parts tray: container, water, plant starter, support material, and light placement card. Small groups build the class-selected prototype, pause for a movement break, then check the system with a picture checklist for roots touching water, stable cup placement, and clean material use. Students practice helping words during setup, such as 'Your turn,' 'I can hold it,' and 'Let's keep it safe.'
