Catching Killer

Catching Killer



Catching Killers is a Smithsonian Channel production. 
The show examines (in sometimes gruesome detail)
 how science can be used to solve crime mysteries. 
The Catching Killers game asks players to try to 
catch a serial murderer on the loose. 
The murderer can be caught by generating leads, 
correctly following up on leads, and correctly 
analyzing evidence. Catching Killers is not something 
I would use with students younger than high school age. 
I say that not because the game is particularly gruesome
 in detail (it's not) but because some of the video clips
 that are on the rest of the site could be inappropriate
 for students younger than high school age.




CSI Web Adventures

CSI Web Adventures


Rice University partnered with CBS, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences,
 and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History to produce educational web 
adventures based on the CSI television series. The web adventures are designed 
to teach students the process of forensic investigation and problem solving. 
There are five cases of increasing difficulty in the CSI web adventures. 
The web adventures are available in English, Spanish, and German. 
Very coo!!!
