Forensics Lab

Forensic experts use scientific tests and techniques to solve crimes around the world.

Placed in a virtual scenario, explore all aspects within the crime scene of one finite room. Find all forensic puzzle pieces, analyzing each with interdisciplinary methods to see how they fit together. Unlock the mystery and escape the room!

    • SC.3.P.10.1: Identify some basic forms of energy such as light, heat, sound, electrical, and mechanical.
    • SC.3.N.1.1: Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them individually and in teams through free exploration and systematic investigations, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations.
    • SC.3.N.1.2: Compare the observations made by different groups using the same tools and seek reasons to explain the differences across groups.

    4th Grade

    • SC.4.N.1.2: Compare the observations made by different groups using multiple tools and seek reasons to explain the differences across groups.
    • SC.4.P.10.2: Investigate and describe that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.
    • SC.4.P.10.1: Observe and describe some basic forms of energy, including light, heat, sound, electrical, and the energy of motion.

     

    5th Grade

    • SC.5.P.10.1: Investigate and describe some basic forms of energy, including light, heat, sound, electrical, chemical, and mechanical.
    • SC.5.P.10.4: Investigate and explain that electrical energy can be transformed into heat, light, and sound energy, as well as the energy of motion.
    • SC.5.P.10.2: Investigate and explain that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.
  • 6 - 8

    6th Grade

    • SC.6.N.2.2: Explain that scientific knowledge is durable because it is open to change as new evidence or interpretations are encountered.
    • SC.6.N.2.3: Recognize that scientists who make contributions to scientific knowledge come from all kinds of backgrounds and possess varied talents, interests, and goals.
    • SC.6.N.1.4: Discuss, compare, and negotiate methods used, results obtained, and explanations among groups of students conducting the same investigation.

    • SC.8.P.8.6: Recognize that elements are grouped in the periodic table according to similarities of their properties.
    • SC.8.E.5.1: Recognize that there are enormous distances between objects in space and apply our knowledge of light and space travel to understand this distance.
    • SC.8.N.4.2: Explain how political, social, and economic concerns can affect science, and vice versa.
  • 9 - 12
    This program is generally offered for 3 - 8 audiences. If you'd like to reserve it for high school level participants, please contact the Education Outreach team and share your focused area of study so that we can upscale the experience based on your needs.
