| Learning Aims: |
- Using experiments to see if both mentioned scenarios are possible: scenario 1: accident: the victim falls in the pen; scenario 2: murder: a pen is shot into the victim.
- Use creativity to model this case.
- Find out that here are limits to a model.
|
| Materials: |
- Ballpoint, materials to simulate a head (fruit, clay, cotton cushion, ….)
- Stand material
- Optional video camera (preferably with high-speed possibilities)
- Program Coach (optional)
|
| Suggestions for use: |
- Students have to simulate both scenarios (accident and murder) by means of an experiment and have to discuss which of these scenarios is possible. In two experiments it can be made clear what the impact of the pen is: in the accident scenario the students let the object fall on the pen, in the murder scenario they let the pen fall on the object. They investigate the differences.
- Be aware of the differences and the similarities between experiment and the ballpoint case.
|
| Possible questions: |
- Students take the role of the CSI-investigator. There job is to argue which of the scenarios is most likely.
- Discuss which materials are suitable to model the head of the victim. Make sure to address both the practical use and the ethical aspects and physical properties of the head.
