Social Studies CSI
Our own student historians were chosen to investigate the death of the oldest preserved human ever found, nicknamed "Otzi the Iceman." To begin their investigation, students were invited into a crime scene to analyze the photographic evidence surrounding Otzi's mysterious death. Moving forward, their mission in class was to evaluate theories and determine how and why Otzi died. At the end of their research, students proved a conclusion on his death, using their gathered evidence. Make sure to ask your 7th grader about their research on Otzi the Iceman, and good luck to all CSI agents!
