This report details the evaluation of various evidence samples submitted for forensic analysis by CSI agents Emma Keller, Ashley Justus, Ben Juhn, and Ryan Esposito. We assessed the physical and chemical properties of metal samples, liquids, and powders. Sample 1 was identified as aluminum, while Sample 2 was classified as steel. The mystery liquid was identified as rubbing alcohol, and the mystery powder as baking powder, exhibiting specific reactions with water, vinegar, and iodine. Our findings underscore the importance of material properties in forensic investigations.
