How do we know whether a system is healthy?
Ecosystem health can be diagnosed through measurable evidence, not assumed.

How AwaKai is used in this mode
- 01
STEM Investigate
Measure abiotic conditions using quadrats or transects, recording light, temperature and soil composition.
- 02
Think & Create
Identify interdependence between species and represent a food web showing producer, consumer and decomposer relationships.
- 03
Make & Test
Trial a monitoring approach and test whether it reliably detects a change in the ecosystem over time.
- 04
Share & Impact
Communicate a diagnosis of ecosystem health supported by evidence, and propose a possible restoration response.
Your readings in this mode
Repeated readings from the same place are the evidence base for a diagnosis. A monitoring approach is only useful if it reliably detects change over time.
Both modes use the same AwaKai reading log: place, region, water source, pH, temperature and notes.
