In the virus exercise, students walk around the room and talk with each other until various tags start to light up, signaling the outbreak of a virus. Then students discuss and develop hypotheses about who started it, how it was passed, and why it affected only certain people. They repeat the experiment multiple times to test their ideas. If one person consistently starts the virus, students may have them sit out in another experiment. Or maybe the yellow-numbered tags got the virus first, and they observe those tags in the next experiment.
People build on each other's ideas.
