💡 Big idea: How do scientists document a quantitative lab result so it can be reviewed, replicated, and trusted?
- 0-15 minFinalize the standard-curve graph: check axis labels, units, and best-fit line
- 15-30 minComplete the data table: well ID, observed color, assigned concentration for every well
- 30-50 minWrite the interpretation paragraph: name positive results and explain the evidence from the curve
- 50-62 minWrite the error sentence: name one specific source of uncertainty in reading colors by eye
- 62-72 minSubmit graph, data table, and interpretation to the course shell
- 72-80 minConfirm all items show as turned in; note one thing to do more carefully in the wet lab next week
- • The goal of any lab exercise is not just to run the procedure; it is to produce a record someone else can evaluate.
- • Today you finalize and submit everything from the dilution week: the standard curve, the data, and the interpretation.
- • Next week you run the real wet ELISA; what you notice about your errors today shapes how carefully you work then.
- • Exit goal: all three submission items confirmed as turned in before you leave.
- 1Finalize your standard-curve graph and label the axes clearly.
- 2Tabulate your model ELISA colors and the concentration you assigned each well.
- 3Write a short interpretation naming which samples were positive and how you knew.
- 4Add one sentence on a source of error in reading colors by eye.
- 5Submit your graph, data table, and interpretation in the PLTW course shell.
- 6Confirm it is turned in and note one thing you want to do more carefully in the wet lab.
- • You will be able to submit a labeled standard curve and ELISA data.
- • You will be able to interpret model results against a curve.
- • You will be able to name a source of measurement error.
- • A complete submission packages the visual evidence (graph), the raw data (table), and the interpretation together.
- • Naming a source of error is part of good science; it shows you understand the limits of your own data.
- • Reviewing your model data before the wet ELISA helps you anticipate where precision matters most.

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open the ELISA pre-lab submission in myPLTW for Activity 1.1.5 ELISA and confirm your standard-curve work is ready for next week's wet lab.
Submit your complete ELISA pre-lab packet: dilution plan, antibody diagram, and standard-curve table.
Standard-curve table should be done (Thursday); full pre-lab packet submitted today.
