The document summarizes the Phase I of the Shewey Science Academy held in June 2008. It describes the goals of increasing student science knowledge, improving attitudes towards science, and encouraging careers in science. Students participated in forensic science investigations of a mock crime, learning techniques like DNA analysis, soil analysis, and blood spatter analysis. They presented their findings at a mock trial with other students, teachers, and community members serving as jurors. Pre and post tests showed that students' science content knowledge increased, with gains of up to 97% on some questions. Plans were discussed to expand the program in 2009.
