| The Forensic Chemistry workshop uses the fascination with crime detection and the discovery pedagogical approach to stimulate interest in science and technology. The teaching/learning strategies employed include: the illustration of scientific principles and techniques in the resolution of well-known cases; the collection of evidence at a simulated crime scene; and the analysis of the evidence in the crime lab. The primary goal is to help colleagues gain an appreciation for the ease with which these concepts and experiments can be incorporated into their curriculum and to the substantial impact they will have on student attitudes toward science. The alumni of the workshops will form the nucleus of a Community of Scholars for: the implementation and development of additional course and laboratory content and pedagogy; the propagation of successful teaching strategies; an active exchange of additional ideas using online discussion boards and video conferencing (Supported by NSF-DUE 0089417, 0341138 and 0618678). |
