- 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: A complete innovation package documents the full engineering cycle: from design goal through test data through iteration proposal.
- 0-10 minGather model specs, data table, and CER; organize into one labeled package.
- 10-30 minRubric self-check: four artifacts present, design goal addressed, iteration proposal included.
- 30-45 minAdd source citations (design brief, SOP) and unresolved-limitation notes.
- 45-60 minUpdate tracker: status, confidence on engineering design and biotechnology, one reflective note.
- 60-75 minSubmit package in Schoology; save confirmation.
- 75-80 minPreview innovation-synthesis unit; write one question about frontier biomedical technology.
- • Today you archive the full engineering cycle: design goal, build, test, evaluate, and propose next steps.
- • The package you submit today is the prototype report that a product development team would present to leadership.
- • WebXam 072110 Biotechnology strand tests the engineering design process as a full cycle, so your package is exam prep.
- • A tracker confidence rating below 70% on engineering design means you need targeted review before the WebXam.
- 1Compile the model specs, trial data, and CER into one labeled file.
- 2Check the package against the rubric for completeness and vocabulary.
- 3Cite 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 innovation package includes model specifications, the three-trial data table, CER, and tracker as four distinct artifacts.
- • Sources in engineering design include the design brief, the SOP, and any reference specifications used.
- • A tracker confidence rating on engineering design and biotechnology tells you which WebXam 072110 topics need focused review.

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 4.1 Designing the Future activities show a completed or submitted status.
All Lesson 4.1 unit activities marked complete before closing the platform.
Every Lesson 4.1 innovation and engineering-design activity done by end of this period.
Platform completion status plus Schoology package submission.
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.
