Now Let's Try Some Masks

On this page we will add masks as a Safety Precaution. Run the model with masks as the only precaution. And then run the model with masks and social distancing. The parameters you chose (world size, density, infectiousness, etc) are up to you. Remember that in any good Scientific Experiment the Scientific Method is used.

To draw a useful conclusion use the graph feature. It is the best way to compare your results. Remember to change only one thing at a time. For example, if you want to test to see if masks are effective, set-up your NetLogo Model with the same parameters and run the Model with masks and without masks. In other words, change 1 thing and record your results. Okay, it's go time!!

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Question 4.1

SAQ: Write your hypothesis for this question: Can a Computer Model Inform Us of Safe Practices During a Pandemic?

[A hypothesis is a statement that you can test using the evidence that you collect.]

Question 4.2

Design a simulation (experiment) to test your hypothesis. Explain your experimental design in the space below.

Question 4.3

Conduct the simulation (experiment). Use information from the graph and record your results.

Question 4.4

Using the information you gathered from the graph write your analysis of what is important to prevent contracting COVID-19.
