Analyze forensic data and test your skills in this online game. This educational experience was carefully designed by experts at Rice University to maximize student learning. This project was supported by grants form the National Science Foundation (Cases 1, 2, and 3), and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health (Cases 4 and 5). The Center developer engages in research, development and consulting on innovative applications of advanced technology for teaching and learning in a variety of settings. The CSI Web Adventure allows those who cannot visit the museum exhibit based on the television series in person to experience the science behind the investigations. It will also feature bonus crime-solving scenarios for museum guests who want to further explore forensic science following their visit. immerses guests in hands-on science while leading them through the challenge of solving a crime mystery. The hands-on exhibit brings to life fundamental scientific principles, numerous scientific disciplines, and the most advanced technology and techniques used today by crime scene investigators and forensic scientists. Through hands-on activities featuring real equipment and multimedia presentations, guests will sample the following science fields and understand the significance of each in cracking crimes. Visitors will use the process of scientific inquiry to: Identify, analyze, formulate and validate their data. Guests will use Scientific Inquiry in the Following Fields: DNA identification, toxicology, forensic anthropology, forensic entomology, forensic pathology, forensic art, firearm and toolmark identification, information technology, latent prints, and blood spatter analysis. Learn how to use tools and technologies such as: microscopes, magnifiers, templates, computer databases, personal computers with touch-screen technology, UV light sources, cell phone seizure kit, chemistry equipment, reagents, DNA instrument systems, and ballistics identification systems and bullet trap. |
