Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner Level
This course continues the forensic science journey into the field as well as the lab.  We will cover the following subfields of Forensic Science:

•	Forensic Pathology
•	Forensic Odontology, prostheses, and medical implants
•	Histology and Serology
•	Forensic Toxicology
•	Forensic Entomology
•	Entomotoxicology
•	Forensic Epidemiology
•	Forensic Anthropology (bones)
•	Historical Medical Analysis

We will also work through a variety of real and hypothetical case studies.  Students who are interested will be able to do a facial reconstruction project (supply list will be provided).  Finally, we will work through a unique, 2-week mock investigation involving nine sets of bones from an archaeological excavation.

While this class is listed as the second high school forensic science course, it is not necessary to have taken "Forensic Science - High School" prior to this class.  Each class in my series covers a separate areas of evidence.

Learning Goals

Students will deepen their understanding of Forensic Science, and will hone their analytical and critical reasoning skills.
