Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students have been spending the year thinking about justice. They’ve surveyed the main branches of forensics and decided if those branches are valid. They’ve understood how the law and forensics work together and how they can be part of that system as jurors. At the end of this year, students will be asked to participate in a practical exam. That practical will include setting up, processing, and solving a case created by their classmates. They will present their findings to the jury of their peers and provide justice. The best practical has unlimited options and supplies for students. The materials I chose will help them have a more realistic experience and not just use analogies. They don’t have color prints for pictures, and we don’t have a fully supplied lab. All the items on the list support the final project. We need a color printer, UV-led flashlight, labeling tape, microcentrifuge tubes, gunshot residue presumptive test kit, fingerprint powder, a bullet display set, and luminol reactive forensic blood. Every year I teach forensics, more and more students go to colleges with a focus on criminal studies. I believe the more realistic the practical, the more I am setting them up for success in college.
