STUDENTS INVESTIGATE CRIME SCENE

South Jones High School Algebra Classes Re-Enact CSI

Algebra teachers Patty Wilson and Kimberly Bradshaw report that during their study on Data Analysis and Linear Regression, Algebra I students at South Jones High school participated in an investigation to help identify the remains of two human skeletons from their Biology department.  It had been determined that although neither skeleton was complete, one was male and the other was female.

Students measured each other’s height and tibia length, then created a linear model that would be used to predict the height if the length of the tibia bone was known.  Once the model was created, they measured the length of the tibia bones for each skeleton, inserted them into the linear model and determined the height of each skeleton.

Next, the students were given the “experts’” formula for both the male and female.  They were asked to compare their information to the experts’ and determine if a discrepancy existed and why.  Once this study was complete, students had learned to collect data, to analyze the data and determine a trend, then to use the trend and make predictions.
