My Project

I wanted to offer my students a new and exciting elective for this upcoming school year...Forensic Science. The supplies that I need are for the exciting labs the students will investigate! The materials that I need will be used for forensic investigations...how exciting!

By donating to my class, my students will be analyzing fingerprints, blood spatter, hair analysis, fiber analysis, and constructing facial compositions; all of these are real-world experiences for my students.

They can open up a new goal and path for my students!

My students will learn how to identify the 3 different blood types and how to catch the criminal based on DNA evidence.

Students will study real-life case studies, such as the Lindbergh kidnapping.
