- 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.

💡 Big idea: Graphing physiological data reveals trends that cannot be seen in a raw data table, and a data-based CER is the standard format for communicating scientific findings.

- • Yesterday you collected raw numbers. Today you turn them into a story.
- • First you graph. Force or angle on the Y-axis, trial number on the X-axis. A proper graph has a title, labeled axes with units, and a scale that uses the full space.
- • Then you write a CER. Your claim names what happened to range of motion. Your evidence cites specific trial numbers from your table. Your reasoning connects the data to the physiology of fatigue.
- • A vague CER gets no credit. Use your numbers.
- 1Graph your force or angle versus trial number.
- 2Describe the trend and identify where fatigue changed performance.
- 3Complete the PLTW online analysis questions on kinesiology.
- 4Write a CER claiming how fatigue affected range of motion, using your data as evidence.
- 5Submit your labeled graph and data-based CER.
- • You can graph and describe a fatigue trend.
- • You can write a CER supported by your own data.
- • A line graph of force or angle versus trial number should show a plateau or decline as fatigue sets in; the slope of that decline quantifies fatigue rate.
- • Kinesiology is the study of human movement; range of motion (ROM) is the extent of movement at a joint measured in degrees.
- • A CER using collected data must cite specific trial numbers or values as evidence, not general statements about what usually happens.

Day 4 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Complete the kinesiology data-analysis task in Lesson 1.2 Muscles and Motion on myPLTW; finish all analysis prompts before writing your CER.
Mark the data-analysis task complete after submitting your motion-data CER.
Lab task is done; today the analysis task should show complete and your CER should be submitted.
