Preeti -

The forensic science units sound very intriguing. I have three questions
about the modules you are developing:

1) How many activities are included in each module?

2) How long does each module take a teacher to conduct?

3) Are the modules intended for in-service teachers as "replacement" modules
or as "supplemental" to the curriculum materials already in use?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi all,

Here at the NY Hall of Science, we are developing middle and high
school-based forensic science units that incorporate use of IT for
analyzing evidence. The curriculum is correlated to the national and
new york state mandated science concepts. There are five mystery
modules: Living Environment, Chemistry, Physics, Ecology and Earth
Science. Each module has a different scenario and we even provide the
equipment and materials to the educator to conduct the mystery.
Training is required. Currently we are prototyping with in-service
teachers, but we plan to market to after-school educators in about a
year. We have used these mysteries with our own after-school and summer
camp programs and they have been quite successful. Please feel free to
contact us for more information.
