Welcome to Forensic Science!! Mrs. Ollo
A general idea about the course… • The students will study core investigative techniques used during crime scene investigations through hands-on learning settings. • Lab activities will be the primary focus of the class. • Real Investigative procedures!!
Topical Outline • Unit 1: What is Forensic Science? • Unit 2: Types of Physical Evidence • Unit 3: Fingerprinting • Unit 4: Footwear Analysis • Unit 5: Hair and Fiber Analysis • Unit 6: Document and Handwriting Analysis • Unit 7: Fire Arms • Unit 8: Blood Spatter Analysis • Unit 9: DNA Evidence • Unit 10: Crime Scene Investigation Procedures (creation and investigation of a crime)
Grading • Homework/classwork • Presentations (group) • Labs • *Crime Scene Project (creation, investigation, and analysis) * will be part of the final exam grade
Lab Policies • Labs will be carried out either individually or with lab partner depending upon the activity. • Depending upon the lab, labs may be handed in for a group or individual grade. • Late policy- 50% credit for turning in a lab the day after it is due.
Crime Scene Project!! • For approximately the last 4-5 weeks of the semester the class will be working in groups to set up, investigate and analyze a crime scene. • Each group will set up their crime scene somewhere in school. • The students will then work in groups to investigate each others crime scenes • Grading- based on analysis of evidence in the form of a portfolio. • Final Exam- Case/Investigation will be presented to the class with PowerPoint.
My goals this semester… • To get the students excited about science! • For the students to understand that forensic scientists use and apply all the sciences when investigating crimes! • For students to strengthen their own problem solving skills!
