Murder at Old Fields

Murder at Old Fields, the first case in the Case History forensic science series, is an exciting Forensic Science Lab Activity for middle and high school students. Based on the 1842 double-murder of Alexander and Rebecca Smith at their farmhouse in Old Fields, Long Island, students examine evidence and conduct labs based on the historical facts of this case. There are two versions of the Murder at Old Fields activity; a real-world kit and an online version. Diablo Highway

Diablo Highway is the second lab activity in the Case History forensic science series. It is based on the double-murder of Hazel Frome and her daughter Nancy that occurred in March 1938 on a desert road in Southwest Texas. Diablo Highway is problem-based learning that supports the three-dimensions of learning outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards. There are two versions of the Diablo Highway activity; a real-world kit and an online version.
