FORENSICS Scaffolded Notes UNIT 2 The Crime Scene

Forensic Science: These organized Two Column Notes, Scaffolded Notes, provide students with some structure for text reading or lectures on processing a crime scene. Students will examine how to process a scene, the various types of evidence that might be collected, and look at entomology as a resource for determining the time of death.

Scaffolded Notes are a great way to deepen student understanding of a topic beyond basic recall. Students are asked to synthesize and analyze the material as they take initial notes and then revise them with connections to activities and teacher-led direct instruction.

The left side of the paper is used for outlining big ideas and vocabulary while the right side is for filling in details, making connections & answering questions that pop into the student’s head during the initial reading. For best practices, students should revisit their notes after they have completed doodle notes (available from WISEflamingo) or an activity to summarize the big ideas and answer questions they initially had.
