Description
Part 1. Design a simple experiment using the Cycle of thinking.
Post a description of an observation that lead to a question. Recall from the previous materials that the cycle of scientific thinking begins with observing and asking questions like "What happened there? Why did that occur? What's going on?" We are all scientists and routinely ask these questions. For this assignment plan to focus on a question that you can explain, predict, and then check. Revisit the comments left by your instructor from the MOD1 [Assignment] Observations and questions and then choose one of those.***If you are working ahead, you must complete the MOD1 [Assignment] observations and questions assignment first, and then wait to read your instructors comments for that assignment before submitting for this discussion. Failure to do so may result in having to re-do this.
This is not meant to be a lengthy, rigorous task. Rather a simple example of how you are already using the Cycle of Scientific thinking.
In your post, please include the following (use bullet point format here for clarity)
- State and then describe the question that you came up with
- Explain all of the observations and what was going on that brought on the question
- Come up with a potential model to test
- List your prediction(s)
- Outline what you will do to check or test your model. You must include what data you will collect and how you will collect this data. See my example!!
- Can you carry out this check/experiment in the next week and keep a record of what happens while you do so? If YES, continue on. If NO, STOP. Generate a new question/observation and try again.

The question that I can up with was "How often does the weather app on my phone predict
the occurrence of rain/snow in my location?" This is basically looking at how accurate of a
predictor the radar that the app is connected to is. I will look at the apps predi...
