Forensic Science

Welcome to Forensic Science! I am very excited to engage my students in forensics—the application of multiple sciences for solving crimes. This is a course rich in exploration and lab investigation which applies many disciplines of scientific study such as biology/anatomy, chemistry, and physics to solving crimes.

Course Goals and Outcomes

The Forensic Science class is designed around the idea that in the real world all learning is  interrelated and interdependent: All of the sciences are integrated with the core subject areas. Students will be expected to read, design case studies, respond to case studies, research, hypothesize, interview, compute, and use deductive reasoning to propose crime solutions. With an ever increasing use of technology, the students will record data, draw conclusions, and formulate the best method for communicating results; thus, finding value and relevance in what they study as they interact with others. As students improve their deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills through inquiry, they will develop a life long learning style. 

Content Recovery Policy: Please see me depending on class items on how we can recover content. Lab setups tend to be more difficult to manuever, but I am sure we can make our best judgements on how to proceed together.
