- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning — make a claim, back it with evidence, explain your reasoning.
- SOP:
- Standard Operating Procedure — the exact steps to follow (especially in a lab).

💡 Big idea: A CER conclusion is not a summary of what you did -- it is a claim about what you found, supported by your own statistical evidence, and limited by honest acknowledgment of what could have gone wrong.
- 0-10Review the CER mini-report format: claim, evidence, reasoning, and limitations
- 10-25Write the claim: answer your research question directly and specifically
- 25-45Cite statistical evidence: include specific values (mean, SD, t-test result) that support the claim
- 45-60Write the reasoning: explain how the statistics connect to the claim
- 60-75List at least two honest limitations and explain why each matters
- 75-80Submit the Problem 2 analysis mini-report; confirm it is in before Fall Break
- • You have run your analysis. Now you need to say what it means.
- • A CER mini-report is the vehicle: claim from your research question, evidence from your statistics, and reasoning that connects them.
- • Naming limitations is not a sign of weakness -- every published study includes them because they show you understand the boundaries of your evidence.
- • CER writing fluency is tested across all four WebXam 072125 strands.
- 1State a claim answering your research question.
- 2Cite your statistical evidence to support the claim.
- 3Explain your reasoning linking evidence to claim.
- 4List at least two limitations of your study.
- 5Submit the Problem 2 analysis mini-report.
- • Your mini-report contains a complete CER conclusion.
- • You name at least two honest limitations.
- • How to write a CER conclusion that states a claim, cites statistical evidence, and connects them with explicit reasoning.
- • How to identify and name at least two limitations of a physiology study without undermining the conclusion.
- • Why honest limitations strengthen rather than weaken a scientific report.

Day 4 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open Problem 2 in your myPLTW course shell and locate the CER or analysis-report activity to review the expected format and evidence standards.
Mark the CER mini-report activity complete in your tracker after submitting, because it is due before Fall Break.
The statistics analysis is done; today you write the CER conclusion with two honest limitations and submit the mini-report before Fall Break.
CER mini-report with specific claim, statistical evidence with values, reasoning, and at least two named limitations submitted to Schoology.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.
