Brief Course Description
Brief Course Description
Forensic science is the scientific analysis and documentation of evidence suitable for legal proceedings. Forensic scientists determine and evaluate facts from the evidence they've evaluated and may testify as expert witnesses in criminal and civil court or other legal proceedings.
Students are immersed in and explore a variety of forensic disciplines. This exploration leads students to investigative techniques, scientific inquire, legal application, and collaboration in real-world content.
Forsensic Science Investigations Content includes:
Forensic Anthropology
Forensic Archeology
Death Investigation
Entomology
Blood Spatter Analysis
Fingerprint Analysis
Bullet Trajectory Analysis
Crime Scene Investigation
Pathway Student Ambassadors
Danna Jimenez, Sheyla Esquivel, Jocelyn Rojo

Evaluating the Evidence
Evaluating the Evidence
Our students learn to analyze evidence using analytical reasoning. They develop critical thinking used by investigators, understanding the smallest detail can solve the crime.
Crime Scene Analysis
Crime Scene Analysis
Ever wonder how a criminal investigation works? Well in crime scene analysis, students are exposed to the inter-workings of the investigation. this includes examining the body, crime scene photography, evidence collection, crime scene sketching, and interviewing witnesses. Students work in investigation teams, develop their theories, and present their findings.
Forensic Anthropology
Forensic Anthropology
Students will examine the bones of the human body. They will be able to utilize scientific and mathematical equations to learn as much as possible about the bones. Some of the information learned from the bones would be gender, estimated height, possible race, age, and maybe even the lifestyle of the deceased.

Senior Fieldtrip Overview: Anatomy Lab Tour, which provides hands-on experience in a university-level cadaver lab. This lab includes both real human cadavers and synthetic (SynDaver) labs.
Blood Spatter Analysis
Blood Spatter Analysis
During this lesson, students will learn the forensic significance of the different blood types. they will analyze blood-spatter evidence using the angle of impact, area of convergence, and area of origin. Students will be able to compare and contrast different types of blood-spatter patterns and how those patterns were formed.
