Coachb43(c) re: Forensic Final Exam Crime Scene
Andrea, how long does it take them to complete the exam?
Thanks,
Don
I give them 4 hours broken up over a few days due to our exam schedule. I usually stage the scene in the teachers lounge and mark off with crime scene tape. First I have them sketch the scene and work on fingerprints. Then over the next few day i interduce other evidence such as blood typing, hair, etc.

Was wondering if you had other materials that accompany the Forensic Hair Analysis Quiz and Review? Is it embedded in a PPT?

No, what I use to teach the content is the DUKE FORENSIC SCIENCE CD-ROM that you can order from WARDS NAT. SCI company. There is a series of lectures given on forensic topics with demos, and we view it as a class and take notes. The other resource that I use is the newer Forensic Science Textbook, and we do some Hair Analysis Labs that I also order from Wards. Oh, and I also have them read the case studies from Larry Ragels book called "Crime Scene." There are a few discussion questions on that quiz from the reading in his book on Hair.
I hope this helps, these resources have been really helpful to me in teaching this course.
Sorry so long to get back to you, we are in exam week...anyway, the book was the 2001 ed. of Holt's Science Spectrum. This text went along with the course called "geophysical science" for our 9th graders. Thank you.

Andrea,
I really like the PPt on energy, but am curious about the book pages you refer to for the students to answer questions. Could you please tell about the book you are referring to?
Thank you for your response,
Mary
