Forensics Lab



This week we transformed our classroom into a forensics lab to test some evidence fresh in from a crime scene.  Our analysts learned about chromatography and matched ink band samples from different pens to find the culprit in The Case of the Dognapping.  They also compared physical properties of three different mystery powders confiscated from suspects in The Case of the Crummy Cake.  Students also looked at the chemical properties of the substances as they tested their reactions to water and vinegar.




During our grade level time, second graders worked on their creative thinking skills as we read the book Beekle and created our own imaginary friends.






Third graders worked on more median, mode, and range as they sorted data from our heart rate project.  We also used this video to jog our memories after the break: Mean, Median, and Mode Toads.
