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

When teaching Capote's In Cold Blood and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, I opt to have the students create criminal profiles for Perry Smith and Dick Hickock and choose between Frankenstein's monster or Victor Frankenstein.
The profile still requires students to interpret details and analyze actions, yet introduces them to technical writing. The students really seem to

HIV Investigation (STEM/PBL)
This inquiry based, PBL piece from Lab207 was written for an AP Biology class. I was short on time and was not going to be able to cover viruses, genetic technology, and gene regulation. In response I wrote this project that puts students in the shoes of an HIV researcher and asks them to investigate and propose a course of action in response to a new strain of HIV.
The project is written as a story that the students respond to by turning in 4 separate products and giving a final presentation.
