Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) Science School is now available to teachers and students across Ohio

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Friday that the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) Science School is now available to teachers and students across Ohio. Designed for fourth graders, BCI Science School’s free lesson plans will expose students to the careers of forensic science, criminal investigation, and related careers at an early age. Students conduct hands-on, inquiry-based experiments in class and solve relevant challenges using critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Videos are shown throughout the lessons that “take” students into the field with BCI agents and into the laboratory with forensic scientists. With a STEAM-based curriculum, BCI Science School includes 26 lesson plans aligned to the Ohio Department of Education’s fourth grade standards, using hands-on experiments and inquiry-based learning to help solve fictional crimes.
