Abstract
There is growing concern that the United States is not preparing a sufficient number of students, teachers, and practitioners in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). A large majority of secondary school students fail to reach proficiency in math and science, and many are taught by teachers lacking adequate subject matter knowledge (CRS Report for Congress, 2008). This is a severe problem throughout the United States where student mastery of math, science, and technology literacy objectives is extremely low. This presentation will focus on a project where 8th and 9th grade teachers used Forensics as the basis for creating unique STEM projects that fostered analytical thinking and problem solving. Teachers integrated 8th and 9th math, vocational, and science topics to create interdisciplinary STEM projects that were technology-infused and inquiry-based.
