NJIT FRSC 201- Introduction to Forensic Science

Assignment I'm Proud Of

This assignment is an example of the Atomic Spectrum and what causes the emission of colors in a substance. The task of this Lab was to use the Flame test to identify the unknown components of a substance.  

The objective of this assignment was to accurately use the flame test and describe the change in color, which would later help answer questions based on the lab. 

This assignment fits in with the overall unit because it helped understand how emission in substances work, for example emission is when energy is applied to an atom, which then causes the atom to absorb the energy, and then causes its electrons to get promoted to a higher state. As these electrons calm back down a particle of light is then released. 

I learned how to effectively use the Flame Test to identify unknown components within a substance, for example the flame would turn green if copper is present, yellow if sodium is present, pink when lithium is present, and violet when potassium is present.

The Task was to answer relevant information based on the Unit, and what we've been taught during the unit through classwork, homework, and Mr. Austin herself.  

The objective was to successfully answer the questions based on information we were being taught and show our understanding of the unit. 

The assignment fit in with the overall unit because it was a test that was made up of components of the whole unit and what we've been taught so far. 

I have learned that there are many equations and formulas that are needed to calculate wavelength, energy, and frequency.

Assignment I'm Proud Of

This assignment was to analyze a person/criminal that killed and did horrible things.  Overall to understand the persons thinking and what could have pushed that person to do such a horrible thing.

The objective of this assignment was to accurately use evidence to show the physiological problems with the person and how his childhood could have made him that person. 

This assignment fits in with the overall unit because we were learning about understanding the physiology of serial killers and how there is something in their brain that makes them snap. In other words we examined the persons life and try to explain why it could have been his past and how it could have been tied to something genetic in the brain.

I learned that Wayne Gacy  Lured victims to his home with promises of work, alcohol, or drugs. He would then restrain, assault, and eventually strangle them. He often buried the bodies in the crawl space beneath his house.
