My Students

CSI, NCIS...these shows are all the rage on television, but students don't get to see what really goes on in a crime scene investigation. I want my students to discover the science and math behind crime scene investigations, but we lack the materials to do so effectively.

I teach gifted students in a center approach, where the gifted students from the entire county come to one place and take classes that address their strengths.

These students are very inquisitive and creative, and love to explore real world situations through hands-on experience. They choose unit classes designed to both enrich and accelerate the curriculum, including classes related to engineering, art, theater, biology, creative writing, etc.

My Project

Included in the materials I am requesting are a kit that will allow the students to perform crime scene investigations, including in-depth activities on fingerprinting, evidence collection, blood-stain identification, forensic careers, ballistics, and much more. The additional materials will be used in their evidence collection, like the gloves and clipboards. The display boards will allow them to collect and display evidence. The graph paper will be used to help map out crime scenes. All these materials will give them hands-on experience and allow them to apply skills from mathematics, science, and language arts in a fascinating way. Students will learn how to investigate and look deeper, making inferences about the evidence and data they collect, which is a skill that will help them throughout their school career. There are already more than 60 students who have signed up to take this class, which is a testament to their interest in the topic.

These resources are essential to being able to teach this class effectively.

The students will benefit so much from being able to collect the data, analyze the information, and come to conclusions first hand, and not just reading about it or watching a video. This class can really help peak the students' interest in science, which we are really trying to encourage now in education. Thank you so much for your help in making this happen.
