Click on headline for full story, photo(s) By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University Kids' College CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Campbellsville University's Kids College final 2011 session was held on campus July 25 and 26 at the Technology Training Center, 409 N. Hoskins Ave. This event marked the first time the popular summer classes for students grades three through eight was held for a full day as opposed to half-day sessions. Attendees reported that the experience was totally cool. Kids College provides students with opportunities to broaden the scope of their interests and interact with others. Students picked two sessions from those offered: Cookin' Up a Storm, Mad Scientist, At the Spa, Green Thumb, Book Adventures, CSI--Cool Science Investigations, Found Sounds and Homemade Music, The Babysitter's Club, No Girls Allowed and Photography 101. Forensic science made its way into the summer Kids College lineup of class options. Applying science is one way to answer questions important in solving crimes. It has been popularized on television and Cool Science Investigations (CSI) class was a hit in its first season at CU. CSI students were instructed to work through the list of items on an autopsy record sheet after being introduced to their patients (dill pickles), each complete with its own medical history. All patients/pickles had been in fairly good health, having grown up through a normal childhood. Each student had his/her own patient/pickle to look over carefully and document any signs of criminal mischief or foul play along with normal bumps and bruises even if they were not significant to the cause of the patient/pickle's death. Their patient/pickles had been last seen in the kitchen the previous day before turning up on the CSI student's autopsy table. Students were taught to carefully describe the condition of each body, noting any unusual marks and then predict the cause of death. The bodies were measured in inches and centimeters, weighed and documented. That's when the fun began as a deep Y-shaped incision had to be opened for the patient/pickle's interior examination to take place At the end of the examination, students were asked to fill out official US death certificates on their patient/pickle, including actual or presumed date and time of death, the manner of death - natural, accidental, suicide, homicide or could not be determined - and finally, write the cause of death and affix their signatures. CSI is just one of three new classes added this year. Of the traditional options, Mad Scientist remained a highly popular choice. - Linda Waggener Kids College was held on the main campus of Campbellsville University at the Technology Training Center (TTC), 409 North Hoskins AV, Campbellsville, KY 42718.
