Crack the Case: Investigating Colony Collapse Disorder with Crime-Themed Learning!

Step into the shoes of a detective and unravel the mystery of colony collapse disorder (CCD) with our captivating and interactive resource. Designed for middle and high school students, this lesson combines the intrigue of a crime investigation with the critical thinking skills needed to understand the plight of our pollinator friends.

How It Works:

TedEd Video: Kickstart your investigation by watching a captivating TedEd video that introduces the alarming phenomenon of colony collapse disorder. Delve into the crime scene of disappearing bee colonies and uncover the clues behind this ecological mystery.

Detective Work: After viewing the video, students become sleuths as they analyze the evidence and form hypotheses about what might be causing CCD. Using guided Google Slides, they conduct research to support their theories and present their findings in a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) format.

Crime-Themed Learning: Engage students with a crime-themed approach that transforms scientific inquiry into an exciting adventure. From examining suspects to building a case, every step of the investigation keeps students on the edge of their seats.
