My Project

Forensic science does not only require observation and deduction skills, it also requires computational skills and calculations. Trajectory can be calculated not only in ballistics, but also in blood spatter analysis.

Providing the students with these tools to calculate the trajectory and origin location will allow them to not only make more accurate data calculations, it will also allow them to compare different methods of data collection to determine with method is more accurate versus more convenient when applied in the field.

Many students in our school struggle with math and fail to see its relevancy in real world applications. Providing them with tools that are used by forensic scientists when recreating crime scenes will provide them this relevancy.
