Launch
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.
Days 1 - 5
Plan Evidence Method
Plan Evidence Method
Students will refine investigable questions, build a credible and inclusive biometric data-collection method, test measurement routines, and peer review one another’s plans before locking in a hypothesis, data table format, and graphing approach for the 5K investigation.
Days 14 - 21
Collect Biometric Records
Collect Biometric Records
Students will carry out their approved 5K investigation methods during repeated training sessions, document biometric measurements with enough detail to trace every later claim to specific evidence, and strengthen data quality through calibration, peer critique, revision, and checkpoint review.
Days 22 - 29
Check Midpoint Quality
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.
Days 30 - 37
Analyze And Present
Analyze And Present
Students will analyze their 5K training evidence, test the strength of their interpretations with peers, connect biometric patterns to cardiovascular and muscular science, and prepare clear public-facing explanations for the upcoming community event and training vlog.
Days 38 - 45
Showcase
Showcase
Students will finalize and present their cardiovascular investigation products to an authentic audience, use peer and audience feedback to strengthen the clarity and accuracy of their claims, participate in the community 5K exhibition, and complete a final evidence-based reflection in their training journal.
Days 46 - 50
Launch Curiosity
Launch Curiosity
Students will observe surprising biometric responses during exercise, build the science and math needed to interpret those responses, and turn firsthand observations into investigable questions and early hypotheses for their 5K cardiovascular study.
