How do you keep seniors engaged a week before grad

How do you keep seniors engaged a week before graduation? 🧑‍🎓

You give them one final mock crime scene to solve! 🕵️‍♀️

Normally, I plan an elaborate mock crime scene and have the kids take a few days to solve it. This year, I decided to purchase these pre-made crime scene kits from Amazon and it was worth EVERY PENNY!

For the last two days, all of my students have been laser focused on solving these cases!

I purchased 7 kits and laminated the contents so that I can use them year after year.

Each lab group got their own case to solve! It was student directed and had 3 built in objectives that had to be met before they were allowed to proceed.

It was the perfect way to end our year!!!

(Note: The name of the company is Unsolved Case Files and I purchased them from Amazon.)

It’s 🍎 teacher appreciation week 🍏 and I can’t let it pass without telling you THANK YOU for being here!

To show my appreciation, I am giving away some goodies all week. 🎉

Today, I am giving away 2 TPT gift cards ($10). Just comment below and you will be entered in the giveaway. I will pick two winners on Wednesday morning. 😃

Today was our end-of-course test in Biology and I’m glad that’s over! My kids weren’t excited about testing, but they were excited to get these goodie bags!

I am linking the template for these printables below:

We are wrapping up our EVOLUTION unit with classification and phylogeny.

Today, my Bio students created candy cladograms.

Students received 7 pieces of candy. (You can use ANY kind of candy for this activity. I usually get candy that’s on sale or I raid my kids’ Easter 🧺!)

Students worked in groups to classify the candies (swipe to see the table they created).

Then, students created their cladogram with chalk markers and called me over for assessment.

What happened next? I SUGARED the kids up and sent them to their next class. 🤪

It was MOCK CRIME SCENE day in Forensics and my students showed off their CSI skills!

We have an automotive class at our local high school and the shop teacher allows me to use his old junk cars to stage my mock crime scene.

Students were graded today on their processing of the crime scene. Tomorrow, we’ll be in the lab for evidence processing followed by a day of deliberation and class discussion.

I can’t wait to see if my students crack the case!

🐦 Battle of the Beaks lab to introduce natural selection as one of the mechanisms of evolution.

My bio kids got pretty competitive in this lab and it was fun to see them so excited about an activity.

I saved info about the setup and execution for this lab in my EVOLUTION highlight bubble. 😉

We finally made it to ENTOMOLOGY in my year-long forensics class! 😃I absolutely love talking all things 🐜 🐞 🪲 and 💀!

Today, students completed a differentiated stations activity where they traveled to 10 different stations to learn about entomology.

If you teach forensics, I’d love to know what you think about this topic!
