Ballistics is the study of projectile motion and a critical area of investigation in forensic study. When a projectile is
Students perform forensic hair analysis to learn how hair structure aids crime investigations. They compare samples under a microscope, identify features like medulla and cuticle, and explore the limits of hair evidence without DNA.
Blood evidence can be analyzed as either biological or physical evidence, making it a powerful specimen for teaching forensics across
Students use silver nitrate to develop latent fingerprints, learning the chemistry behind the reaction with chloride ions in sweat. This hands-on forensic activity demonstrates how prints become visible and explores real-world crime scene applications.
Ultraviolet-sensitive beads change color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. Students can use these beads to perform inquiry-based experiments to
Investigate physical science and engineering concepts including buoyancy, displacement, and density. Students construct an aluminum foil boat prototype and measure how much weight their boat can carry before taking on water or sinking.
In this activity, students use a solar-powered model, such as the dancing flowers often sold at discount variety stores. They carefully disassemble the plastic housing and attach a sensor to the capacitor, then use probe ware to graph the voltage across the capacitor.
