Forensic Science: Case Study Investigation

Created by

Forensic Files - The Evidence Never Lies

The Case Study Investigation report provides students with an opportunity to conduct an in-depth analysis of a case. Forensics plays a role in all of the cases to some degree - in some of the cases forensic analysis was key to arriving at a thorough understanding of the elements of the crime, whereas in some of the other cases the lack of forensic testing, either because it was not done or because it was not available, proved equally significant. The list of cases represents a broad mix in term

“The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe: Setting and Tone

Created by

Rockermom's World of Literature

This is a nice “take a break from non-stop writing” sort of lesson plan, and it appeals to those future Van Gogh’s and Picassos in your classroom, as well. Using Poe’s delightfully melancholy and bizarre poem, “The Raven,” students discuss first how setting creates tone which then creates mood for the reader. It is a literary domino effect, so to speak! Reading with purpose, underline examples of descriptive words describing setting and creating tone and then students are assigned a creative

Forensics Ballistics Unit: Firearms Guided Reading

Created by

Stehler Science

In most criminal investigations involving the use of firearms, Forensic scientists typically examine three types of firearms: HAND GUNS, RIFLES and SHOTGUNS. Each type of firearm is unique in terms of its structure and function, the types of ammunition that can be used with it, and its ballistic properties defined by velocity, kinetic energy and trajectory. This lesson could be used to describe the three different types of fire arms and the evidence they leave behind in Forensic Investigati
