Lindsey:

 * 1) ===I have found a problem based example, I am not sure if it is okay to use but it is for a science class. The class has to figure out who stole a laptop and a fax machine from the Professor's dental lab. Upon further investigation campus police found numerous fingerprints in the lab. The problem is to find out who stole the items by analyzing DNA from the 4 suspects. [|DNA on trial] ===
 * 2) ===Another example that I found is a Problem Based Learning project. It is also for a Science class. This one is to answer the question of what type of absorbent is good for cleaning up oil spills. The students are using vegetable oil and they are using different absorbents to answer the question of which one would work best to clean up an oil spill. [|Goo-Be-Gone: Cleaning Up Oil Spils] ===

Jordan:

 * 1) ===I found a history based problem. There are historical disputes over several "facts" that are well known throughout US history. Things like, George Washington and the cherry tree, where the first Memorial Day was held, and where Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address. [|Historical Disputes]===
 * 2) ===This example is about local air quality. The students will figure out how clean their air is. [|Local Air Quality]===

Derrick:
====1. ** I found a problem that focuses on budgets and having student is able to manage them. This would be good for an Economics or general business class in a high school, around 12th grade. It is sort of similar to monopoly. Business Board Game **==== ====** 2. This next one I found puts high school students in the role of people working with the consititution and and the immigration service. They learn to work with people, in a goverment type setting.
