Plan
By Phase By Day Calendar
Launch
Students will launch the 5K cardiovascular investigation by experiencing a biometric data hook, building shared background on heart-muscle systems and inclusive running culture, starting their training journal, and drafting the first investigable questions that will guide later evidence collection.

Check Midpoint Quality
Students will audit the quality of their 5K training dataset, test the strength of their methods, build preliminary tables and scatter plots, and revise their hypothesis or data-collection approach based on emerging evidence. They will use peer critique, journal writing, and a midpoint checkpoint to improve the credibility of their investigation before deeper analysis in the next phase.
