Each person creates a card with one element (which may be in the design) and list all the potential inputs on one side and outputs on the other side. See if you can join up outputs from one element to make an input to another element. Is there a way to place them to enable these connections to be made? |

Designing and deciding |
|
|
Create simple permaculture designs using a recognised design process (e.g. SADIMET, survey, analyse, design, implement, evaluate, tweak). Choose a pattern which is most likely to meet your function (e.g. branching pattern for paths). Try using that pattern in your design. |

Make cardboard cut-outs (to scale) or 3d models (e.g. building bricks). Play with moving them about in your design. |

Chose two elements, which may be in the design, to dramatise. Children are split into four even-sized groups - inputs and outputs for each element. Each child becomes either an input or output of their element. Dramatise to show how an output from one element can become an input to another element. |
