+## Overarching Question
+
+### What central question are you interested in exploring? Why are you interested in exploring this question?
+
+*This should be the big picture question that you ask; use at least 5
+sentences to describe why you are interested in it.*
+
+### What specific research questions will you investigate?
+
+*List 2-4 specific research questions. Each should be answerable 
+using your data set.*
+
+## Data source
+
+### What data set will you use to answer your overarching question? 
+
+*Give the title of your data set and provide a link to your data.*
+
+### Where is this data from?
+
+*Describe the source of the data set--not just where you downloaded it, but
+the person or organization who gathered the data. Explain why you trust them.*
+
+### What is this data about?
+
+*Describe the nature of the data in the dataset, including the number of rows 
+and some of the columns which will be important to you.*
+
+## Methods 
+
+### How will you use your data set to answer your quantitative questions?
+
+*For each research question, explain what you will do with the data set 
+to answer the question, and how you will present your answer (e.g. a chart or a table).*

 ## Overarching Question

 *This should be the big picture question that you ask; use at least 5
 sentences to describe why you are interested in it.*
 
+I want to know about what relationship exists, if any, between an adult (18 +) 
+person's age and their weight (I'll use metric).
+I'm trying to find out at what age, on average, do people experience a dramatic
+weight gain or loss, if at all?
+I'm curious to find out if such a dramatic increase or decrease in weight can
+be captured in a one-time snapshot database, where individuals are NOT tracked 
+over a period of time, but ONLY once.

 ### What specific research questions will you investigate?
 
 *List 2-4 specific research questions. Each should be answerable 
 using your data set.*
+What number or percentage can be used to accurately indicate a 
+dramatic change in weight by age? How do I determine what "dramatic" is?
