Students will launch the inquiry by examining paired 1963 and today artifacts, sorting evidence into math and humanities categories, hearing how an archivist uses sources, and generating early questions about how numbers can reveal differences in daily life.

Students will gather community-grounded evidence, organize observations into math and humanities patterns, and draft a focused inquiry plan that connects historical sources, quantitative comparison, and audience-centered research for their 1963 expo work.

Students will turn their research and data analysis into low-fidelity expo station prototypes, test those prototypes through structured peer critique and a stakeholder check, and revise their slide flow, annotated graphs, and evidence-based claim using documented feedback.

Students will present their final 1963 Time Capsule Expo stations to families and community guests, explain how ratios, percents, and historical sources reveal differences in daily life in 1963, respond to audience questions, and close with a brief partner check-in on success, challenge, and next step as presenters.
