Forensic Science 7-9
This is a hands-on introduction to the scientific knowledge and laboratory techniques used every day by law enforcement to put bad guys behind bars.
Lab topics include documenting crime scenes, tool marks, chemical analysis, counterfeit documents, dental impressions, fiber identifications, fingerprints, glass fractures, handwriting analysis, forgeries, ink chromatography, shoe prints, forensic anthropology, blood splatter patterns, and DNA electrophoresis.
As a final project, working as a team, each class attempts to solve a simulated crime using the forensic techniques learned in the class.
