Dead Chickens, Maggots & Engaged Youth


The NYTimes.com posted a great video clip, "Popular Science?" about how a high school forensics class is using hands on, real life examples to engage students in the study of science. Because of the interactive methods used to teach lessons found in a textbook, the class has become a popular choice for the students at this high school. The teacher explains that it's not necessarily about the study of forensics, but it's the idea of using forensics to help kids learn how to think and process information. You can watch the 4 minute clip here.
