I agree adding in masks and vaccinations would be a great extension!

I agree with you all. I was using huge transmission rate numbers and that makes it really scary - my infected rate got really high... but plugging in the actual numbers from covid, makes it seem less catastrophic.

I like the form.  I would work step by step through the form with an easy lab first, so the students see each section in action... then when they get to brainstorm and create their own experiment they will have something to look back at.

@Kevin- I like the idea of a "bank" for them to choose from

@Kevin and @Anonymous- making the model more relevant to real life will in these ways will help them understand what is happening with the numbers.

For elem. students I would give them choices of variables to choose from, and go through each question step by step.

I like this idea a lot! Looking at the whole sheet might be overwhelming for students, breaking the design into smaller problems helps them take it one step at a time.

Based on the latest research, news, or infection rate in the local community you could setup the model to reflect that.

Students might come with ideas they've learned during the covid pandemic.

give the turtles actual definitions (persons/occupations/places)

Students might want to add in vaccination rates or masks because it's what they know.

I would break it apart. Reveal the first two prompts first, then get together to share out and help each other, then reveal the range and trials, etc.

Allow the students to play around with the model and do their own exploring/experimenting in a less structured setting. Then, have them write down some questions or theories they developed as they played with the model. They could then bring those ideas to discuss with a small group of their classmates, and develop their experimental design from there.
