HS Forensics Teambuilding Case Fun Activity Mystery Cooperative Learning
Welcome! This fictional case is a fun teambuilding activity and a great way to engage students in discussion with their peers. I always start my forensic science course with this case, as it entices students to use critical thinking, make arguments using evidence, and rethink their original hypothesis as new evidence is discovered. While fictional, it models the way evidence is slowly uncovered and sometimes facts are discovered at different times, so communication among colleagues is critical.
