Project Ghana
Ghana Session: Forensic Science, African American Museum, and more!
This session began with Mr. Middleton sharing what he was teaching his students in Forensic Science.

On October 7, 2016 a video conference on forensic science was set up between the students in Ghana and the students from the Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. It began with Mr. Middleton sharing what he was teaching his students in forensic science.
Forensic Science presentation
He informed the students in Ghana that the MLK students would learn how forensic science would be used to solve crimes by analyzing finger prints, DNA, and the scene of the crime.
Students were thrilled with Mr. Middleton’s presentation and they wanted to hear more. Mr. Middleton turned his presentation over to eighth grade student Jaiden Griffin. She shared her experience so far in the forensic science class. She shared a notebook of notes and her current project regarding fingerprints.
National History Museum of African American History and Culture
After the forensic science presentation, Ms. Major Phillips gave a power point presentation on the National History Museum of African American History and Culture.
Her presentation showed what the museum consisted of, which was African American memorabilia from their communities, families, art, religion, slavery, segregation, and civil rights era.
Sunlight presentation
The session continued with a presentation on Mr. Mason’s science project of “How Does Light Allow Us To See?” This project showed how sunlight reflects light from the glass in order for a person to see the glass. The students from Ghana shared that they also were doing a similar experiment.
American Revolution to the American Civil War
Finally, Mr. Wronko had students continue their presenations on comparing the “American Revolution to the American Civil War.”
This round, students had interesting interpretations to share with the students in Ghana. They stated that both wars were long, dealt with issues not favoring everyone, and how smaller armies were defeating larger armies.
