Is there really more to a crime than what your eyes can see?
Trace Evidence provides multiple ways to evaluate and find the truth of a crime. Using the Locard Principle we always pick up and leave behind traces of ourselves and the environment. CSI teams that use trace evidence are able to capitalize on that principle and tie it to people of interest. In this studio you will be using trace evidence to collect data, build models, and make evidence based claims to help solve crime.

West Ada LEARNING CYCLE
West Ada LEARNING CYCLE
To the left is our West Ada Academies Learning Cycle. This course is designed with content that fits into one of five categories: Engage, Explore, Practice, Apply, and Reflect. You will move through the stages of the learning cycle as you engage in the studio's driving questions, and then learn, practice, and apply the target skills listed above. When you get to the apply stage, you will make a presentation or use another method to show what you know. Finally, at each Milestone and again at the end of the studio, you will reflect on your project and what you have learned.
