observed the analysis of the weather map for today.
stsudents
observed the crime scene, mnaking drawings of the
crime scene evidence and doing the data summation table.
Students need to be especially aware of the evidence, discrep-
ancies between witness (suspect) accounts and the actual
factual evidence. I want them to use good hard science regard-
the chemical reaction evidence and weather information
interpreted from the data. Students will complete a crime scene
hypothesis about which suspect did the deed, the motive, the
evidence for which you used deductive reasonsing and the
evidence based on scientific fact.
