- CER:
- 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).
- Tracker:
- Your PLTW progress log where you record completed evidence.
- myPLTW:
- The PLTW course site where you do the online activities — you open it through Schoology.

💡 Big idea: A complete investigation portfolio, from protocol through CER, demonstrates the full scientific process.
- 0-10Retrieve all week's artifacts: pre-lab, data table, graph, CER
- 10-28Self-check each artifact against the rubric; flag gaps
- 28-45Fill any gaps or missing details before upload
- 45-58Upload complete evidence package to the Schoology submission folder
- 58-70Update progress tracker with completion status for each item
- 70-80Write reflection: one concrete change you would make if you repeated the investigation
- • This week you designed, ran, and analyzed a real investigation.
- • Today you package all of that work into a submission that shows the full scientific process.
- • Checking your own work against the rubric before uploading is what professionals do.
- • Your reflection on improvement is the seed of your next, better experiment.
- 1Gather your protocol, data table, graph, and CER.
- 2Check each against the rubric.
- 3Upload all evidence to the submission folder.
- 4Update the progress tracker.
- 5Reflect on what you would change if you repeated it.
- • All evidence is submitted and tracker updated.
- • Reflection proposes one concrete improvement.
- • An evidence portfolio shows progression: question, protocol, raw data, analysis, and conclusion.
- • Self-assessing against a rubric before submission is a quality-control skill used in biomedical careers.
- • Proposing a concrete improvement demonstrates deeper understanding than simply describing what happened.

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.
