💡 Big idea: A complete research design package demonstrates readiness to move from planning to execution.
- 0-10Retrieve all week's artifacts: design plan, variable definitions, poster outline, literature summary
- 10-28Self-check each piece against the rubric; note any gaps
- 28-45Fill gaps or add missing details before upload
- 45-58Upload complete design package to the Schoology submission folder
- 58-70Update progress tracker with completion status for each item
- 70-80Write reflection: strongest design element and one next step for the investigation
- • This week you planned a real scientific investigation from scratch.
- • Today you pull every piece together into a coherent design package and submit it.
- • Checking your own work against a rubric before handing it in is what separates good science communicators from the rest.
- • Your reflection today seeds your thinking for the investigation that starts next unit.
- 1Assemble your question, variable plan, and poster outline.
- 2Review each piece against the rubric.
- 3Upload the design package to the submission folder.
- 4Update the progress tracker with status.
- 5Reflect on the strongest part of your design.
- • Design package is submitted and tracker updated.
- • Reflection identifies one strength and one next step.
- • A design package includes the research question, variable definitions, sample size rationale, and poster outline.
- • Rubric self-assessment before submission is a professional quality-control habit.
- • Identifying a next step turns a completed assignment into a learning trajectory.

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.
Use the code Mr. Mendoza gave you, not your name. Saved on this device.
Unit 2.2 Research Model: Model organisms, C. elegans, neurotransmitters/hormones, scientific literature, research poster. · Submit tracker and evidence
Log in to myPLTW and confirm all research-model unit activities for this week are marked complete before closing out.
All tasks from Mon to Thu 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.
