Fire Forensics Update

Frequently Asked Questions

What updates did we make to Fire Forensics? 

Based on feedback from science teachers across the country, we made several updates:

  • We updated our look to match the other pathways on Xplorlabs
  • We updated the student pathway guide
  • We added the ability to link to individual pages and resources for quick reference

 

Will we still be able to access the old site?

The old site will still be available until Thursday, March 28. After that date, it will no longer be accessible.

 

What are the benefits of these updates? 

By hearing about your experiences using Xplorlabs in the classroom, we’re able to make updates that benefit you and your students. This update allowed us to better align our content to science standards, incorporate more exploration into our interactives, and make explicit connections between the content and fire investigation.

 

How can you get involved in future updates?

Get in touch with us by emailing ULRI.Xplorlabs@UL.org,  and we’ll invite you to participate in future site updates. Educators who take part in this process spend time reviewing the site, complete a brief survey, and attend a one-hour focus group to share feedback. We’d love to hear from you!
