LHS GEMS PROJECT
By Priscilla Young & Javier Arteta

"Everybody loves a mystery. Although some students might tell you that they don't like science, you'd be hard pressed to find one who doesn't like to investigate, explore and do experiments. The Mystery Festival unit combines mystery and investigation in a highly exciting, engaging and educational experience. Your student-detectives will conduct many hands-on forensic science tests on evidence found at a "crime scene". Any one of these tests is interesting and educational in itself - together they add up to a powerful and motivating experience that your students will remember for years."
