Abstract: CSI (Cemetery Scene Investigators) is a project-based learning module. Why did we have students learn about their local cemetery? As a local resource, cemeteries are more than just a collection of headstones; as a repository of primary-source documents, they tell a story about a community. In this project-based learning module, students and community members become part of a "CSI" task force that investigates the entire cemetery. It is much more than just an occasion for making headstone rubbings; it is an opportunity for focused insight into the community's past-scientifically, mathematically, and historically speaking.
