Forensic Science, Eyewitnesses, and The Case of the Sugar Shaker

     This week our CSI focus has been on questioning and eye witness accounts.  Students participated in various activities geared toward understanding quality questions in interrogation, the often unreliable nature of eye witness testimony, and the power of close observation.

     We also took a pre-assessment on forensic science and used last week's fingerprint evidence to compare with our suspect samples and determine the prankster that switched our sugar for salt.

     In math we worked on creating line plots with data and using the graph to find the median, mode, and range of the set.

     Finally we tried our hand at both word and figual analogies and looked for relationships between ideas.
