USASEF Spark of STEM: The Real CSI

Join Kelly Knight, forensic scientist and George Mason University Professor, to expose students to The Real CSI - Forensic Science. Tune-in to learn how K-12 educators can create their own mock crime scene in the classroom to demonstrate forensic science. Professor Knight will show teachers how to make this interactive activity appropriate for both younger elementary-level students, and scale it up for more advanced students in middle and high school. This activity can be used by teachers either virtually or in the classroom, and utilizes easy to find materials most of us have around the house. Utilize her worksheets and other takeaway materials to implement this activity in your classroom.
