Biotech CSI

Crack the case with science.

Solve a crime scene scenario using real-world crime scene investigation (CSI) techniques and science. Starting with a packet of forensic evidence, access to the scene of the crime and eyewitness affidavits, use science to sort out fact from fiction as you piece together the criminal sequence of events.

Use microscopy, DNA electrophoresis, chemical analysis and other evidence gathering techniques to reconstruct the crime scene. Sift through the clues, discard useless evidence and solve the problem using design-thinking in this open-ended investigation that models project-based learning and encourages high-level, critical thinking skills.
