Course Length: Semester Course
Credit: .5 credit (Pathway or Science credit)
Grades: 10-12
Prerequisite(s): Biology
Course Description: Are you crazy about CSI? Want to learn how real crime scenes are processed and the role of science in solving crimes? This is the course for you! Begin your exploration here. We learn about evidence collection, fingerprints, impression evidence, and sketching crime scenes. For each category of evidence. we also review case studies to see how these types of evidence have been applied to real-life cases. We wrap up the semester by looking at Forensic Science career options and sub-specialties. Worried it'll be too gross? We stick with pretty "clean" types of evidence in this class, though our case studies and discussions do cover serious crimes including murders.
