CSI Workshop
Date: June 28, June 30 - July 1 | Time: 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Grades: 3rd - 8th
Cost: $85 per student, maximum students 10, minimum 5
Instructor: Cyndi Ochsner, PhD, chemistry professor at St. Norbert College
Chemistry Student Instructor from St. Norbert College
This workshop will introduce your aspiring scientist to the field of forensics (Crime Scene
Investigation). The students will begin the 4 day workshop learning lab safety, evidence
collection and analysis. The many crime-lab procedures that will be practiced include thread
tests, powder tests, DNA comparison, chromatography, simulated (fake) blood typing
analysis and fingerprinting. The week will conclude with a mock crime scene where the
children will apply their newly acquired skills to solve the mystery. This workshop combines
fun and excitement with careful experimentation, logical thinking, and real-life connections
to forensic science. As the fascinating correlation between science and detective work
become clear, students absorb processes that will be useful in all disciplines.

Instructor: Sam Goeben
When you go Geocaching, you use a GPS (Global Positioning System). This technology device uses satellites in space to find where you are. It then acts like a compass, guiding you to your destination. On a Geocache hunt, you are looking for a cache; these can be anything hidden somewhere outside. Someone has placed a cache, took note of the latitude and longitude coordinates, and placed something in it, such as little 'treasures' or a log book to record that you found it. Check out http://www.geocaching.com/ to find geocaches near your own home. All you need is a GPS, coordinates, and a time to hunt out the cache! Good luck! (NOTE: GPS units will be provided.)
