💡 Big idea: A complete exposure map integrates evidence from pathway to mitigation in one document.

  1. 0-5 minWarm-up: what is the one thing your map is missing right now?
  2. 5-25 minCombine pathway diagram, data analysis table, and mitigation notes into one document
  3. 25-45 minLabel source, pathway, dose, at-risk population; add citations for all data
  4. 45-60 minReadability check: swap with a partner and note one confusing label to fix
  5. 60-72 minFix flagged items; confirm tracker shows Problem 4 complete
  6. 72-80 minSubmit exposure map and screenshot LMS confirmation
Mr. Mendoza's 5-minute intro
  • Today is assembly day: your pathway diagram, data table, and mitigation notes come together.
  • The finished exposure map is a document a community group could actually use.
  • We'll check that every number has a citation and that a neighbor could read it.
  • By the end of class, Problem 4 is submitted and checked off in your tracker.
Do this, step by step
  1. 1Combine your pathway diagram, data analysis, and mitigation notes.
  2. 2Label the source, pathway, dose, and at-risk population clearly.
  3. 3Add citations for your data and threshold values.
  4. 4Check that the map communicates risk to a non-expert.
  5. 5Submit the exposure map and confirm it appears in your tracker.
You'll be able to
  • Your exposure map integrates pathway, data, and mitigation.
  • The map is cited and submitted to the tracker.
Know by the end
  • All quantitative claims in the map need a source citation.
  • The map should be readable by a non-scientist, not just a trained toxicologist.
  • Confirming submission in the tracker closes the Problem 4 evidence loop.
Do the work

Your PLTW work today

Open this PLTW section today

Exposure pathways, toxins, dose, pollutants, public health risk. · Exposure map submit

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.

Do this: Open Problem 4 in your myPLTW course shell and review your Problem 4 activity progress page to confirm all milestones are complete.

Complete

Confirm all Problem 4 activities are checked off before submitting your exposure map.

How far to get

All Problem 4 milestones (pathway diagram, data analysis, mitigation notes) should be complete by today.

Upload as evidence

Screenshot of your completed Problem 4 progress as final evidence.

All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.

The plan

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.

Today's PLTW target

Exposure pathways, toxins, dose, pollutants, public health risk. · Exposure map submit

Open Problem 4 in your myPLTW course shell and review your Problem 4 activity progress page to confirm all milestones are complete.

All Problem 4 milestones (pathway diagram, data analysis, mitigation notes) should be complete by today.

This is how Mr. Mendoza sees the class keeping pace with PLTW. Be honest, it only helps if it is accurate.
