Who Done It: A Sixth Grade Mystery

My project needs two DNA Murder Mystery Kits that use DNA fingerprinting simulation to solve a murder!

Washington, IN Grades 6-8

It was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick! I teach 26 exciting sixth grade students!

Eleven of my 26 students are special education and learn best with hands-on activities. I often find that I don't have the resources to provide the additional materials. Anytime I do a hands-on activities the students are engaged and excited!

Through this hands-on science kit, the class will gain an understanding of how DNA technology capitalizes upon the individuality of gene expression. Given the completely reusable kit, the class is challenged to solve a murder by matching the "pop bead" DNA fingerprints of suspects versus samples collected at the scene of the crime

Through your gift, you will not only give my students access to exciting material but also show them that people in the community care about their education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
