Forensics

What do you get when you mix science and criminal investigation? No, not the Avengers – but FORENSICS! The science applied to solving crimes. Join this activity-filled class where you will learn about the different kinds of evidence and tests used by forensic scientists in solving not only criminal cases but other types of mysteries. We’ll discuss different types of evidence that are best suited to solve various cases. You’ll practice some of the same techniques used by forensic science labs and be presented with cases that you and your investigative team will aim to solve through observation and labs. And we’ll even learn some science along the way! High school students can earn credit toward science graduation requirements.

Books and materials provided. One semester of classes for 15 weeks.
