Test Your Own Urban Change

Pick one thing in your daily environment that you think could be better — then design a real experiment to test whether your idea would actually work.

Your Hypothesis

Complete this sentence: 'If I changed ___, then ___ would happen.' Be as specific as possible — name the place and the change.

One Variable

Name the ONE thing you would change. In the second zone, write what stays exactly the same — your control.

What changes

What stays the same

Measure and Predict

How would you know if it worked? Name your measure, then mark your predicted result on the spectrum.

Complete failure

Partial success

The Wrong Result

Name one specific result that would prove your hypothesis completely wrong. Look back at step 1 — does your measure in step 3 actually test your hypothesis, or something different?

Fear or Hope?

Choose ONE word that captures your real feeling about this experiment — are you more afraid it will fail, or that it will succeed and force you to act on it? Write your word and explain why in one line.

Why that word?

Discuss Tell your partner: if your experiment succeeded, what would be the hardest consequence to live with?
