Court TV - Forensics Curriculum Forensic Science Forensic Science is the application of the scientific method to solving mysteries. Forensic scientists draw on skills from a number of disciplines in order to gather evidence and draw conclusions about an event. Teachers may use the subject of forensic science to stimulate interest in the various disciplines of science among their students. The discipline is particularly useful in the classroom because it emphasizes hands-on learning and gives students the opportunity to develop their reasoning skills. Many of the activities on this site use computers and computational science. Such methods are useful to forensic scientists because they allow scientists to view evidence with greater clarity, to simulate specific events and to save time by automating tedious processes. Last Flight of Bomber 31 - Forensic scientists set out to discover what happened to 7 American airmen whose plane crashed in Kamchatka during WWII Who Dunnit? Learn how to be a crime solver by exploring the world of the forensic scientist. Before studying a crime scene we must practice the skills needed in analyzing evidence. After you have completed the skill building assignments, try solving the crime. So You Want to Be A Forensic Scientist!

You Innovate 21 Century In support of its "Innovation America" initiative, the National Governors Association (NGA) has launched a web site aimed at getting middle school students excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with the goal of inspiring and preparing them to become 21st-century innovators. "We must prepare students of today to become the innovative leaders of tomorrow," said Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, who developed NGA's Innovation America program. "This web site will bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life for children, which--in turn--will give them the tools to become innovators." The site, which is the result of a collaboration between NGA and global children's publisher Scholastic Inc., features standards-based content, interactive games, a career simulator, and activities designed to encourage students to pursue STEM fields and careers. The site's content is pulled from the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Science in Boston, and other institutions.
