Inquiry Based Science Talk

One of our most in-demand secondary school textbooks is Forensic Science for High School.  It offers an extremely engaging context for students to learn science through inquiry.  Concepts that are often taught in high school chemistry textbooks, physics, biology and even mathematics and statistics courses are brought together in this integrated program.

As I was browsing my local newspaper this morning, I was excited to see an article about a school here in Denver that is involved in the FBI's Adopt-a-School program.  This program brings FBI agents into the classroom to talk to students about the real-world applications of their education in Forensic Science.  The school is Career Education Center (CEC) Middle College of Denver, and guess what book they use in their Forensic Science course?  That's right, Forensic Science for High School!  It was wonderful to read about how students at this school are looking forward to careers in science and investigation.

Congratulations to teacher Stacey Hervey and her students on the article and excellent Forensics program!
