The students will then work in groups to investigate each others crime scenes
Grading- based on analysis of evidence in the form of a portfolio.
Final Exam- Case/Investigation will be presented to the class with PowerPoint.
Slide8My goals this semester…
To get the students excited about science!
For the students to understand that forensic scientists use and apply all the sciences when investigating crimes!
For students to strengthen their own problem solving skills!
