Individual Produce Investigation Notebook
Each student will complete a research notebook for one chosen fruit or vegetable, showing their question, source notes, data on climate, soil pH, water, sunlight, and nutrition, plus their own conclusion about local growing potential. The notebook will prove individual understanding and personal analysis before the team presentation.
Partner Paper Slide Crop Showcase
Partners will create one paper-based slide with a hand-drawn crop illustration, organized evidence, a simple visual or chart, and a shared claim about whether the crop could grow in their community. They will present it to the class and explain their reasoning, evidence, and any limits or unanswered questions.
