(Photo Courtesy: Reeds Spring School District) By: Monte Schisler, News Director Picture a small scale version of the television show CSI for a comparison, as dozens of advanced placement biology students at Reeds Spring High School are learning how to use forensic evidence to solve crimes. The project came about after biology instructor Richard White received the science equipment through the website donorschoose.org. That’s where teachers submit requests to enhance their classrooms and ask for anonymous funding for those ideas. The Reeds Spring project carried a price tag of over 900-dollars, with the website lining up the purchase and sending the equipment to the school, free of charge. =====(2nd Version)===== Dozens of students at Reeds Spring High School are being inspired in the classroom by a popular network television show. Weekly episodes of CSI use forensic evidence to help solve crimes, and now 75 advanced placement biology students are using that same technology, but on a more realistic level. Instructor Richard White requested over 900 dollars worth of science equipment through a website that provides anonymous classroom funding for teacher requested projects. White says the new equipment is helping students learn real-world applications. He says some have been motivated to pursue a career in forensic science and have talked about furthering their education in the field of criminal justice. =====(3rd Verson)===== Call it CSI – Reeds Spring.
