Curriculum and WebXam connections

Meet Mateo

How this session lines up with the PLTW curriculum and the WebXam for each class it touches, including the vocabulary, concepts, and skills you share.

The classes below may be taught in different terms. This research track runs all year with HOSA, so a connection means the ideas line up, not that the class meets this week.

PBSPrinciples of Biomedical Science Fall
PLTW alignment

PBS opens by turning a real patient case into questions to investigate, the same move as its diagnosis and investigation work.

WebXam

072110 Principles and Practice of Biomedical Technology

Domain: Biotechnology Research and Experiments

How it connects

PBS and this session both start from a patient and build a question list before any lab work.

Shared concepts
Case-based investigationObservation to question
Shared skills
Ask testable questionsSort what you know from what you do not
BIBiomedical Innovations Spring
PLTW alignment

BI is a year of student-driven research; Mateo's case is a model for the independent project.

WebXam

072125 Biotechnology for Health and Disease

Domain: Bio-Molecular Technology

How it connects

BI ends in your own research; this case shows how a question becomes a study you can design.
