7th Science goes CSI

Students from Holland Christian and Zeeland Christian have been working together to solve the crime of the Felix Mystery. They've incorporated a recorded Skype call, audio files (suspect statements), pictures, wiki template pages, and ongoing reflection journals. Students in each class, Mr. Lowe (ZCS) and Mrs. Kamps (HCS), comment between one another to share ideas. Information about the crime is accessible to everyone all of the time and they can read each other's postings for ideas and direction.

A movie was created using iMovie and Keynote to teach students how to do the forensic testing before they had to perform the tests. The movies were downloaded onto their computers and their homework was to watch the movie to prepare for lab.

The project used Pbworks which is a free wiki. To get a flavor of the project view the short screencast below.
