Cool Classrooms

Forensics students are investigating who killed Luigi. They are documenting the crime scene with notes, sketches, and photos. They have an opportunity to question witnesses/suspects Mario, Princess Peach, and Bowser. Student investigators are cataloging evidence and using this case as a context to explore what they would want to test in order to solve this case. These questions will drive instruction throughout the semester as students engage in various crime scene investigations while learning science.
