This is a complete semester of Forensic Science Lesson plans typed out as daily lesson plans but in a week by week format for 18 weeks plus BONUS weeks!! I have taught this course now a total of 15 times and have built it from the ground up at my high school. I now have 2 other colleagues in my building who are following my plans in teaching this course and it has been very successful and fun! These plans have been updated from my previous listing.

Each lesson contains the following:

• Bell Work
• Objective
• Activities
• Homework
• A place to record reflections

There are many materials that have been very helpful to me in the teaching of this course, the list below is some, but not necessarily all of the materials used (note, these need to be purchased separately from Wards or Carolina):

Basic lab equipment (microscopes, rulers, hand lenses, beakers, dissection equipment, etc.)

Textbook- Forensic Science (an Introduction) by Saferstein

Labs materials that I purchase:

Fingerprinting supplies

Impression Evidence supplies (casting material, spatula, tire casting kit)

Odontology Lab (Wards or Carolina)

Frozen Rats, small dog cages

Blood Spatter Analysis (Wards)

Blood Typing (Who Dunit- Wards)

DNA Fingerprinting practice lab and Who Dunit Lab (Edvotek on Amazon)

Presumptive Testing for blood (Wards)

Cow Blood (Sterilized to use for luminol demonstration)

**Please note that these are lesson plans/unit plans and NOT actual labs, worksheets, etc.
