Following the Evidence to Court

Even though we had a half day, we managed to squeeze in some research on trials.  We have looked at crime scenes, forensics labs, and now will follow the evidence to court.  Students used Nearpod to read an article covering the basics of a trial and watched a BrainPop video sharing the difference between criminal and civil cases.  They also took a virtual field trip through a courthouse and looked closer at the parts of the courtroom system to prepare for our real field study there later in the semester.
