CSI: The Experience!

Everyone seems to think that games do not belong in education, but the truth is kids learn better from playing these types of games.  Rice University partnered with the Forth Worth Museum of Science and History, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and CBS, with funding from the National Science Foundation, to create CSI: The Experience!.  This is an online web program that introduces middle school students to the world of forensic science.


The game is free to register and you can play as a guest.  It gives you step by step instructions by characters from the CSI TV show!


Take a look and here's too solving the mystery!
