- 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.
Minute-by-minute · 80-minute block
💡 Big idea: Submitting a complete, cited outbreak package closes the investigative loop: science that is not documented is not science.
- 0-10 minGather line list, curve, map, agent-ID data table, and CER; organize into one labeled package.
- 10-30 minRubric self-check: all five artifacts present, vocabulary correct, quantitative value included.
- 30-45 minAdd source citations and unresolved-limitation notes to the package.
- 45-60 minUpdate tracker: status, confidence rating, one reflective note on outbreak content.
- 60-75 minSubmit package in Schoology; save confirmation.
- 75-80 minPreview emergency unit; write one triage question you want answered.
- • Today you close the investigation file: every artifact labeled, every source cited, every limitation noted.
- • Epidemiologists publish their outbreak reports; your submission is the equivalent of that publication step.
- • WebXam 072110 will ask you to interpret epidemic curves and agent-ID results, so your package is also your study guide.
- • Update the tracker with an honest confidence rating: it tells you exactly where to focus before the exam.
- 1Compile the epidemic curve, map, test results, and CER into one file.
- 2Check the package against the rubric for completeness and vocabulary.
- 3Cite all data sources and note unresolved limitations.
- 4Update the project tracker with status and a confidence rating.
- 5Submit the package through the course portal on time.
- • Submit a complete, rubric-aligned package on time.
- • Tracker reflects accurate status and a limitations note.
- • A complete outbreak package contains the line list, epidemic curve, spot map, agent-ID data, and CER as five distinct artifacts.
- • Citing all data sources means naming the origin of each piece of evidence, including the case data provided.
- • A tracker confidence rating below 80% on outbreak content signals a specific review target before the WebXam.

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open myPLTW and confirm all Lesson 3.1 Nosocomial Nightmare activities in the outbreak section show a completed or submitted status.
Every Lesson 3.1 outbreak activity should be marked complete before closing the platform.
All outbreak-section activities done by end of this period.
Platform completion status plus Schoology package submission confirmation.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
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.
