Inspired by the popular CBS television series, CSI: Web Adventures presents three interactive "cases" to students, one at the beginner, one at the intermediate, and one at the advanced level. Each case is designed to be played in one sitting of approximately 30-45 minutes. Registered users can save and resume a game in progress.

Navigating the virtual CSI world takes many different forms, inlcuding interacting with lab equipment, talking with the characters, and making choices as to how you will proceed.

Several of my students would really enjoy this interface for learning science. They love the forensic science shows and often ask why they can't learn science like this. Now they can!
