Plan
By Phase By Day Calendar
Launch
Students will launch the investigation by encountering lived experiences, public health data, biology concepts, and historical context; generate possible “what if” directions; and produce an initial evidence-based inquiry question with a documented method sketch for the next phase.

Launch & Question
Students will turn broad scenario ideas into focused, evidence-ready investigations by studying how health-access variables, biology concepts, historical context, and lived experience can support a testable question and hypothesis for their team’s alternate-future film.
