Evidence & Investigation

      The forest has been overrun with crime!  Students stretch their investigative skills and learn about protecting parks during a classic game of whodunit.  They collect evidence, interview witnesses and learn how forest components contribute to a healthy ecosystem.  Using teamwork and critical thinking, each group studies its own crime scene then reports back to the group.
