The community budget

Your mission path0/4 checkpoints ready

Before you begin, make a prediction.

How would you use a limited budget when every need matters? What do you expect, and why?

A prediction is a starting idea. You can revise it after exploring.

Change something. Notice what happens.

Preparing your interactive workspace…

Test the idea.

All 100 credits are allocated. You move 10 credits from learning to water. What is the opportunity cost?

The learning provision those 10 credits could have supported.There is no cost because total spending is unchanged.The full 100-credit budget.

Explain your discovery.

What did your preferred allocation give up, and why did you accept that trade-off?

A researcher’s debrief

Make a claim that answers the mission question.
Use a result from your investigation as evidence.
Explain why that evidence supports the claim.
Name a limitation or an observation that could change your mind.

Use at least 40 characters and include an observation. Your writing is saved as evidence; it is not automatically judged for accuracy.

What counts as completing this lab?

A prediction of at least 8 characters.
At least one interaction with the workspace.
A correct knowledge-check answer, with retries allowed.
A reflection of at least 40 characters.

This records completion of this demonstration. It is not an official grade or a claim of mastery.

Start with a short prediction.
