Anita Lundy

Lundy's "CSI: Washington High" project is a hands-on learning experience that uses event based projects, in which students explore forensic chemistry and biotechnology through simulated crime scenes in their high school. Based in part on the popular television series CSI and CourtTV, the projects incorporate key scientific concepts and lab experiments into creative and interactive activities. Students investigate and solve "crimes" within the school through the use of scientific testing such as fingerprint identification and DNA evaluation. Students then present their evidence to the "district attorney" (an invited member of the Wyandotte District Attorney's office) during a public presentation in the school auditorium.
