Over the next 90 school days, we’ll spend 90 minutes each day investigating how science is used to solve crimes. We’ll explore crime scene investigation, evidence analysis, fingerprints, DNA, and how forensic science connects to the justice system.

This class is at its best when everyone is engaged. That means observing carefully, asking questions, thinking critically, and supporting each other’s learning.

Forensics is all about uncovering the truth through science, and I’m excited to explore that with you. Each of you has a role in making this class both challenging and rewarding. I’m looking forward to the investigations we’ll tackle together!
