Forensics, Forensics if you Dare! Investigations Everywhere!

Help me give my students materials and resources to help them create, understand and participate in 21st century hands on experiences in STEM.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O'Neal's classroom raised $694

This project is fully funded

My Project

At our school, we focus on forensics through investigations and simulations of real crime scenes. We will utilize this material by taking investigative steps in solving unsolved mysteries with blood typing, latent evidence, building blueprints and mapping with construction paper, string and markers to show connections.

We will also utilize the construction paper in physics class by building, creating and designing different gadgets and participating in several challenges inside the classroom.

Scholars will have the opportunity to enter into the Science Buddies build challenge with other students around the world to show off their innovative designs and ideas! We look forward to building and exploring the different aspects of STEM through the resources provided with your gracious funding!
