Crime Scene Investigation
High School Science
C.S.I.Discussion of Presentation By Andrew Fairchild, NYC EducatorBy Sandra Jacques, Jake Lederman and Amy Gilbeaux
Objective: To make the learning of biological principles so interesting that there is effortless active learning of the part of the student
Set Up:
A brutal CRIME was committed-
A teacher was responsibleEvidence was left behindFind the perpetrator using scientific techniques
Mug Shot of Bill Gates
Students gathered EVIDENCE and used modern forensic scienceto analyze their samples
• DNA/ Fingerprinting using PCR• Finger Print analysis• Fiber sample collection
Students were able to reach out via SKYPE to NYCdetectives and experts in the field of forensic science
Dr. Henry Lee
Scaffolding was used to build knowledgeabout forensic science techniques:
Students gained valuable experience fromtheir exposure tomodern scientific toolsand from their interactions with professionals in the field
Knowledge of UnderstandingDNA sequences PCR/DNA
amplification
Students then had to present their evidence to a JURY of their peers who assessed them on the quality of their arguments
Students were able to incorporate written
and oral skills in their presentations .
This project helped kids to not only gain a more complete understanding of required Biological Principles (NYS Core L.E. /Literary Standards), but they were also
able to see science in ACTION

Our job as educators is to guide students towards self-directed learning
Jake wants to introduce kidsto a huge range of Earth Science topics
Amy wants to find new and interesting ways to talk aboutplant reproduction
Sandra wants students toappreciate genetic diversitywithin a species.
Comparison of Teaching Styles
TEACHER CENTERED
Focus is on instructor
Instructor talks student listen
Instructors lead discussion
STUDENT CENTERED
Focus is on both student and instructor
Instructor models ad students interacts with instructor and with one another
Students take leadership role, learning becomes their responsibility
Engage

Explain
Elaborate
Evaluate
Engage: pique curiosity with a captivating theme
Explore : students answer their own questions using the scientific method and hands on lab techniques
Explain: instructors answer questions guided by student interest
Elaborate: students expand knowledge with projects using in-depth lab skills
Evaluate: students evaluate each other, instructor evaluates content knowledge

:
Student centered learning
• acknowledges different learning styles• allows kids to grasp technical skills in addition to mastering content • students can see science as it applies
in the real world • gives students the confidence necessary to learn on their own
Let’s put an ENDto instructionthat kills motivation and innovation!
Kids learn best when they work together!
Thanks,Jake and Amy for their valuable input…
Special Thanksto Andrewfor an informativesession!
