FORENSIC SCIENCE 1 (ES)

Course Length: Semester Course

Credit: 0.5 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.

SCIENCE LITERACY

Course Length: Semester

Credit: 0.5

Grade Level: 10-12

Prerequisite(s): None

Description: Fake news or good science? In a world where we have access to unlimited information, it is hard to sift through the echo chamber of opinions fueled by emotions and personal biases, rather than scientific evidence. Science Literacy will teach you about the process of science, how to think critically, how to differentiate science from pseudoscience, how indigenous wisdom can inform science, how to understand and design a scientific study, and how to critically evaluate scientific communication in the media. Every module will build your new skill-base with real life examples, and at the end of each module you will have to apply these skills to scientific questions, talking points and controversies in the world. Warning: this course requires an open mind and the ability to self-reflect.
