Diablo Highway Murder Mystery: Digital Science Instruction

Help me give my students a site license to interactive Forensic Science crime lab simulations to help understand class content during online instruction due to COVID school closings.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Abrams-Ruque's classroom raised $408

My Students

As a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, our school year begins using a hybrid approach with students split into two groups; each group in the classroom for face-to-face instruction 2 days per week and online for virtual instruction 3 days per week. With the number of cases on the rise in our state, it is likely we will have to switch to full online instruction at some point during the year as well.

Many of my students are hands-on learners who need to experience science rather than just reading about it.

It is difficult to replace in-person lessons, demonstrations, and labs with at-home, digital instruction. Digital instruction can be especially tough for my kinesthetic and experiential learners. Because of this, I want to do everything I can to prepare for digital science instruction to make it engaging for all types of learners in my forensic science class. These science lessons and simulations will help to keep all students engaged and interested, while still keeping our school community healthy and safe.

My Project

In order to prepare for continued social distancing in the upcoming school year, I hope to acquire digital science tools to help replace some of the in-person science experiences students will be missing out on. This project will provide a site license for my students to access digital science content over the internet from the safety of their homes or in a socially distanced classroom environment.

Forensic Science students will enter a digital crime scene to collect and process evidence.

These virtual lab activities are based on a double-murder that occurred in 1938 on a desert road in Southwest Texas. Through the class pack of online simulations, students will be completely immersed and engaged as they step into the role of a forensic investigator and laboratory technician. Students will have the opportunity to complete crime scene mapping, blood typing, DNA profiling, fingerprint analysis, hair and fiber analysis, and comparison of shoe and tire impression evidence. Students will use their evidence to then solve the mystery.
