Beginner Level
Class Experience In this 16-week course, students will learn the science behind forensics and the techniques used to solve crimes. This science has sensitive information about crimes, death, and the process of dying; please consult with your child prior to enrolling. If ready to dive into this type of science, then enroll. It is a high school-level course that will be considered a half-semester credit. Students will be given reading assignments, videos, worksheets. Upon completion, students will receive a printable certificate for their files. Students will learn the science of forensics using various online videos, worksheets, and coloring pages. I will do oral reviews if time allows in each of the classes.
Learning Goals
My goal is to equip students to know what it takes to be a forensic scientist.Make them aware of career choices in this field.Syllabus

Other Details
Parental Guidance
A few points to consider:
-Being that forensics is sensitive, all that death entails will be mentioned. I would recommend this be for students aged thirteen and above.
-Students will be using vinegar which is a mild acid. Students may need to be careful and wear protective eyewear.
-Also, we will be using super glue. It must be handled carefully so as not to cause any skin irritations.
Students will view YouTube videos that deal with this topic. One video contains information about body farms.
Pre-Requisites
Students must be able to read at an 8th grade level and work independently.
