1) Students at a NYC school participated in a forensic science project where they gathered and analyzed evidence to identify a "criminal" teacher using modern techniques like DNA analysis and fingerprinting. 2) The students were able to interact with NYC detectives and forensic science experts via Skype during their investigation. 3) The project helped students gain a deeper understanding of biological principles while seeing science applied in a real-world context. They had to present their findings and arguments to a jury of their peers.

- 1. Discussion of Presentation By Andrew Fairchild, NYC Educator By Sandra Jacques, Jake Lederman and Amy Gilbeaux
- 2. Objective: To make the learning of biological principles so interesting that there is effortless active learning of the part of the student Set Up: Mug Shot of Bill Gates A brutal CRIME was committed- A teacher was responsible Evidence was left behind Find the perpetrator using scientific techniques
- 3. Students gathered EVIDENCE and used modern forensic science to analyze their samples • DNA/ Fingerprinting using PCR • Finger Print analysis • Fiber sample collection Students were able to reach out via SKYPE to NYC detectives and experts in the field of forensic science Dr. Henry Lee
- 4. Scaffolding was used to build knowledgeabout forensic science techniques: Knowledge of Understanding DNA sequences PCR/DNA amplification Students gained valuable experience from their exposure to modern scientific tools and from their interactions with professionals in the field
- 5. Students then had to present their evidence to a JURY of their peers who assessed them on the quality of their arguments Students were able to incorporate written and oral skills in their presentations . This project helped kids to not only gain a more complete understanding of required Biological Principles (NYS Core L.E. /Literary Standards), but they were also able to see science in ACTION
- 6. Our job as educators is to guide students towards self-directed learning Plant Earth physiology Science /reproduction Amy wants to find Jake wants to introduce kids new and interesting to a huge range of Earth ways to talk about Science topics plant reproduction Sexual Reproduction/ Biochemistry Sandra wants students to appreciate genetic diversity within a species.
- 7. TEACHER CENTERED STUDENT CENTERED Focus is on instructor Focus is on both student and instructor Instructor models ad Instructor talks student students interacts with listen instructor and with one another Instructors lead Students take discussion leadership role, learning becomes their responsibility
- 8. Engage: pique curiosity with : a captivating theme Explore : students answer their own questions using the scientific method and hands on lab techniques Explain: instructors answer questions guided by student interest Elaborate: students expand knowledge with projects using in-depth lab skills Evaluate: students evaluate each other, instructor evaluates content knowledge
- 9. Student centered learning • acknowledges different learning styles • allows kids to grasp technical skills in addition to mastering content • students can see science as it applies in the real world • gives students the confidence necessary to learn on their own
- 10. Let’s put an END to instruction that kills motivation and innovation!
- 11. Thanks, Jake and Amy for their valuable input… Special Thanks to Andrew for an informative session!
