Terminology

The student is encouraged to create their own personal google document for vocabulary and save it so that it is readily available during all lab investigations. A complete list of terms will be available here and in google classroom for that purpose. The completion of this assignment for a grade is one of the first 3 assignments we will complete in units, before we proceed into case work. I will post this page as a list into the google classroom and I want you to make a copy of the list (title it Forensics Terminology)for you to fill in as we go through activities and lectures
