Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
200+ students will transfer their mystery and detective genre book interest into real-life activities while learning about science, forensics, and solving mysteries.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Students attending the "Crime Scene Mystery Program" are registered in Summer Reading Program. They are required to read six hours a week at school to improve reading skills and reduce summer learning loss. The Science Museum's hands-on sessions promoted fiction and non-fiction genre while making reading and learning fun. Students were encouraged to read at home and have their parents bring them to the library for their own library card.
