FORENSIC SCIENCE
Forensic Science allows students to explore and apply concepts learned in
Biology and Chemistry. Students become part of a crime scene investigation
team to solve crimes ranging from theft and fraud to homicide. Students learn
how to collect, process, and analyze data using the scientific method. Lab
exercises include finger printing, handwriting analysis, ballistics, blood typing,
hair and fiber examination, and DNA analysis. Case studies and current events are
explored.
