Fun with Forensics!

Image
Last week we completed our Intro to Forensics unit. We started by learning how to be good observers. This was much more difficult than many expected! Next, we learned to lift fingerprints and identify them as loop, whorl, or arch. Then, we learned the importance of Forensic Odontology. Candy made this lesson sweet! Finally, we learned how to take a cast of a footprint left at the "scene." We then compared the cast to a few suspects' shoe impressions. We hope to revisit this unit at a later date, where we will learn about fiber/hair analysis, evidence collection, handwriting analysis, and secret messages, as well as how to use a black light at the scene.

Quest Game Designers!

Students had the choice to either work with a partner to construct a unique board game, or to work independently to create an online game using a coding site. Students are required to incorporate strategy, setbacks/penalties, 3D and moving parts, as well as write thoughtful directions that would allow any player to easily understand the game play rules. Messes are being made...but I think more fun is being had! I cannot wait to see the final products next week!
