💡 Big idea: A complete cardio evidence portfolio demonstrates understanding from anatomy through clinical data interpretation.

  1. 0-10Retrieve all week's artifacts: blood-path diagram, EKG trace, CER
  2. 10-28Self-check each artifact against the rubric checklist
  3. 28-45Fill any gaps and upload complete evidence package to Schoology
  4. 45-58Update progress tracker with completion status for each item
  5. 58-70Write reflection: one concept that clicked, one to revisit
  6. 70-80Peer confirmation: partner reviews tracker and initials
Mr. Mendoza's 5-minute intro
  • This week you traced blood through a heart, recorded an EKG, and wrote a CER using your own data.
  • Today you compile and submit all of that work as a complete evidence portfolio.
  • Your tracker is your self-assessment; make it honest so your teacher can help where you need it.
  • Leave with everything submitted and a clear sense of what to review for the WebXam.
Do this, step by step
  1. 1Compile your blood-path notes, EKG trace, and CER.
  2. 2Check each artifact against the rubric.
  3. 3Upload all evidence to the submission folder.
  4. 4Update the progress tracker.
  5. 5Reflect on one concept that clicked this week.
You'll be able to
  • All artifacts are submitted and tracker updated.
  • Reflection names one mastered concept and one to revisit.
Know by the end
  • A complete cardio portfolio spans from structural knowledge (diagram) through functional data (EKG/BP) to analysis (CER).
  • Tracking your own progress builds metacognitive awareness of where additional study is needed before the WebXam.
  • The reflection habit mirrors clinical documentation: always record what you learned and what needs follow-up.

Your PLTW work today

Open this PLTW section today

Unit 3.1 Cardiopulmonary Connection: Cardiovascular and respiratory systems, blood vessels, heart structure, EKG interpretation. · Submit tracker and evidence

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

Do this: Log in to myPLTW and confirm all Lesson 3.1 Cardiopulmonary Connection cardio tasks for this week are marked complete before packaging your cardiopulmonary evidence.

Complete

Every item for this unit week is checked off; screenshot your completed progress bar.

How far to get

All tasks from Mon to Thu in Lesson 3.1 cardio content should be complete by today.

Upload as evidence

Screenshot of the completed progress bar attached to your tracker submission.

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.

Use the code Mr. Mendoza gave you, not your name. Saved on this device.

What to do if you were absent

If YOU are absent

Today is individual PLTW work, so do exactly what we did in class, from home: complete the same PLTW target above, then submit your Tracker entry.

Open Schoology (CMSD) and keep going

How to get there: open the CMSD website, click Clever, sign in with your Microsoft (district) account, then open Schoology from Clever.

If MR. MENDOZA is absent

Class still runs. Complete the online activity above (it's self-guided). Need the concept taught without a teacher? Use this authoritative explainer:

How this is graded
For: Tracker entry — Completed weekly progress tracker showing submission status for the blood-path diagram, EKG trace, and CER, plus a written reflection naming one mastered concept and one to revisit.
  • Complete
    Every required part of the artifact is present, nothing left blank.
  • Accurate
    The science and the data are correct and match the evidence.
  • Scientific reasoning
    You explain your claim with evidence and reasoning (CER), not just an answer.
  • Professional communication
    Clear, organized, labeled, and written the way a clinician or scientist would.
  • Submitted
    Turned in the right way (Schoology for routine work) and confirmed.
