Inquiry game name
Aggregate behavior model

Object or form
Aggregate behavior models sum the effects of individuals in economics or small particles in molecular science. The resulting behavior can be different than an individual behavior or more than the sums of behavior. The model can help answer questions like “How do the molecules in atmospheric gases create the greenhouse effect?”

Rules
1. The system or boundaries of the inquiry should be clearly defined.
2. The elements in model must be categorized.
3. The behaviors of individual elements must be valid.
4. The interactions between elements must be valid.
5. The aggregate outcomes must be evaluated with real data.

Moves
1. Define the system in general terms.
2. Add an element.
3. Revise an element.
4. Add an interactive connection between elements.
5. Revise an interactive connection between elements.
6. Validate the process model.

Levels
1. System
2. Elements
3. Behaviors
4. Validation
