  Make a prediction

Before you check your model, you should make sure that you have at least one prediction. A prediction is your best guess about how a parameter is changing. For example, you might think that the level of water in the bathtub is going up.

To make a prediction, right click on any parameter or the rate of any process, and choose one of the options for making a prediction.

At this point, a symbol should show up next to the parameter saying which way you think its moving.

When you check with the professor, he will see if your predictions are right. You can make a prediction for every parameter in your model, but you have to make at least one before you go into analysis mode.

Before you go on to the professor, look at the problem statement. At least one prediction in your model should match your problem statement.
