Choose how to play

For Fun: choose Core or Full; writing is optional. Both routes visit all seven stops. Core keeps matched model comparisons and one country rule check; Full includes wider household tests and all three country checks.

For Class: complete Full, including all eight explanations, then select Complete & assemble report. Your class report, text export and print/PDF unlock afterward. Type class answers in the game; pasting is off. No policy preference earns a score.

Keep your evidence

Changing controls explores. Record or Keep retains a result. Compare the same person and shock under different rules; change one setting in your wealth and voting pairs; keep the same assembly platform while changing one condition. Follow the task strip at each stop.

Your eight questions

  1. Why does your chosen prediction seem plausible, and what could make it wrong?
  2. How did a protection rule include or exclude someone from help with a need?
  3. How did changing one setting affect the absolute wealth gap and the ownership share?
  4. What does your voting comparison show about the decisive-voter argument, and what is one limit?
  5. What did your two assembly rounds reveal about turning support into a funded agreement?
  6. What comparison is supported by observations from two countries, and what causal claim would go too far?
  7. How would you now explain when demand for protection becomes policy, and how could you distinguish the two arguments?
  8. What conditional path would you recommend for Port Azure, and what could make you reconsider it?

Class minima, in order: 15, 20, 20, 20, 25, 25, 40 and 40 words. Use the evidence beside each prompt. These checks establish completion, not the quality of your argument.

Know what the evidence can establish

The household and political models are fictional. The country observations are dated 2024 estimates and policy rules. Income and net wealth measure different things and rank people separately. Country differences alone do not identify a policy’s causal effect. Consult the teaching guide for sources and definitions.
