Forensic Science: Case Study Investigation
The Case Study Investigation report provides students with an opportunity to conduct an in-depth analysis of a case. Forensics plays a role in all of the cases to some degree - in some of the cases forensic analysis was key to arriving at a thorough understanding of the elements of the crime, whereas in some of the other cases the lack of forensic testing, either because it was not done or because it was not available, proved equally significant. The list of cases represents a broad mix in term

Science Fiction Unit PBL Smart House
I use this project after reading science fiction stories/novels like "There Will Come Soft Rains," "Epicac," "The Veldt," and Fahrenheit 451. It allows students to really grasp why reading such outlandish and wildly speculative stories could be important ways of understanding our own lives. Students will research current technologies, and imagine what those technologies could become in the future within the scope of housing/construction. They will make connections between what they have read and

Internet Citation Scavenger Hunt
Even though we live in a "digital world", students often do not know how to find information on the internet. Many of my students believed "Google" and "Yahoo" were citations, not understanding those are only search engines.
After discussing with students how to conduct research, this scavenger hunt helps reinforce citing our website sources! Students spend time finding answers to the questions, citing where the answer came from to prove the answer.

Mini-Research Project - Holocaust/ Night by Elie Wiesel
This is a research project I used with 10th grade reluctant and new researchers as an introduction to our study of Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night.

Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt
I love William Shakespeare. I love the language, the time-period he lived in, and the timeless themes that his plays have. I tend to teach a lot of Shakespeare. I like to do the Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt in my school’s library but you can do it in the computer lab as well. It’s just a basic series of questions about Shakespeare and his time-period. I like to have my students go to the library because it gives them a chance to move around. Doing a scavenger hunt like this is also more fun than j
