Getting the simulation ready…

  1. 1Change the design
  2. 2Say what will happen, then test it
  3. 3Finish: say what you found
What counts as evidence
  • Build a claim and connect it to one result from your trial.
  • Choose how you would check the idea in one new example.
  • Pushing the handle down makes the other end lift the gate.
  • Gear Ratio: predicted what should change before this action: Set gear sizes.
