- Word Document File
Description
“Modern Marvels” is a video series that focuses on the effect and use of technology in various aspects of modern society. It aired on the History Channel. Each video is approximately 45-50 minutes in length and would be a great addition to any CTE or STEM class.
The “Forensic Science” episode discusses various forms of technology used in forensics to solve crimes, including fingerprinting, microfiber identification, and DNA testing. Specific crimes are examined, including the capture of John Dillinger, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., the bombing of Pan Am 103, and the murder and disappearance of two different children. Caution: The crimes against children reference sexual behavior, and strong language is used numerous times by one of the interviewees. Approximate times for each use of strong language is provided on the answer key if a temporary mute option is desired during viewing.
The video viewing guide is a resource that will keep students engaged in the video and is thorough enough to serve as a great study guide for later use.
