Description
Add a little MAD MARCH, Basketball-themed, C.S.I Enrichment to your schedule in or out of the classroom this SPRING.
This resource includes a printable (pdf) distance learning packet AS WELL AS a digital version meant to be used with Google Classroom.
This C.S.I. Activity is an engaging workshop that’s super easy to set up. It takes approximately 1 to 1 ½ Hours to complete and can be taught all at once or separately.
Lead your students on an engaging journey through logical reasoning, deduction, and inference. The culprit of this story is Marc Hadnez, a disgruntled NCAA committee member who is MAD about President Lee Dorval’s plan to change the basketball seeding system. Marc attempts to blackmail Lee into canceling his plan. Detective Justin Matters is on the case.
The students in your class will be asked to use the investigative process, deductive logic, common sense, and help solve the crime.
Students will analyze suspects through witness statements, alibis, inferences, and trace evidence. It all leads up to a final computer font analysis that reveals the culprit.
This CSI Activity is GOOGLE Classroom Friendly or Print and Go!
