Comprehensive Final & Portfolio Defense

Essential question: Can I integrate biological concepts and scientific practices across unfamiliar contexts?

Standards: HS-LS1–4; HS-ETS1; SEP 1–880% mastery + correctionsPortfolio evidence

Open monday Final Support · Review, Assessment & Portfolio Defense

Monday

Phenomenon / Launch

A multi-part case requires molecular, cellular, genetic, evolutionary, and ecological reasoning.

Learning target

Build an initial model and explanation for: Can I integrate biological concepts and scientific practices across unfamiliar contexts?

Evidence task

Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: cumulative synthesis.

Open tuesday Final Support · Review, Assessment & Portfolio Defense

Tuesday

Concept & Model Revision

Study and explain the week's core ideas: cumulative synthesis

Reading

Complete course portfolio and review map.

Evidence task

Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.

Open wednesday Final Support · Review, Assessment & Portfolio Defense

Wednesday

Data & Quantitative Reasoning

Mixed quantitative and data-analysis tasks.

Evidence task

Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: Can I integrate biological concepts and scientific practices across unfamiliar contexts?

Open thursday Final Support · Review, Assessment & Portfolio Defense

Thursday

Investigation / Engineering

No new wet lab; cumulative final, corrections, and portfolio defense.

Safety boundary

Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.

Evidence task

Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.

Open friday Final Support · Review, Assessment & Portfolio Defense

Friday

CER / Synthesis

Answer the essential question: Can I integrate biological concepts and scientific practices across unfamiliar contexts?

Mastery evidence

Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.

Portfolio

Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
