Overview

In this activity, students plan the design of the sandbox model they will construct on the computer to investigate their chosen research question/topic. Students build the model, save it periodically, and “run” it to explore its behavior and revise the model. Students will also record outcomes they discover in the model related to a research question. Finally, students will plan an outline for a scientific explanation. This explanation will cite data from the model as well as known scientific principles about gas particle interactions. Students will write the scientific explanation that answers the research question they posed.
