In this 10 week course, students will have an fundamental look at forensic science and evidence collection techniques. This high school level course is excellent for students who are interested in taking a closer look into forensic investigations. Over the course of ten weeks students will follow a syllabus while completing weekly review questions, case studies, and analysis activities (per topic). Week 1: Observation Skills, Crime-Scene Investigation and Evidence Collection Week 2: Hair, Fiber, and Textile Analysis Week 3: Pollen, Spore, Fingerprints, and DNA Fingerprinting Week 4: Blood and Blood Splatter Week 5: Drug Identification and Toxicology Week 6: Death: Meaning, Manner, Cause, and Time Week 7: Soil Examination, Entomology, and Anthropology Week 8: Glass Evidence, Cast, Impressions, Tool Marks, and Ballistics Week 9: Handwriting Analysis, Forgery, and Counterfeiting Week 10: Case Study and Famous Forensic Crime Scenes Each student will be able to find the classrooms lecture on our private YouTube page; links to additional videos will also be available to students to help them gain a better understanding of the weeks topic. Each student will have the option to complete a class discussion each week but, this is only optional. A weekly review will be available to students; it is optional if the students would like to complete the review privately or would rather submit the answer to me for review. A case study will need to be completed by each student and upload to our classroom during our last week of class...this is a fun educational way for students to engage flexibly with others. This course is designed as a high school course; a PowerPoint presentation will be used video/audio clips will also be applied based on the topic each week - Video instructional material will also be available for students. Since, this is a flex course students will not be meeting live; this is perfect for the independent learner who is self-motivated to complete their activities. *** ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MORE: Come Join our Weekly Forensic File and Case Studies Club found here: https://outschool.com/classes/forensic-files-and-case-studies-club-IYkElt87?usid=2Ul6yAHB&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link
