Forensic Science for High School Fourth Edition

OVERVIEW

The Forensic Science for High School, Fourth Edition is designed to be a highly engaging, inquiry-rich integrated science curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking and problem solving through the use of real-world forensic science methodologies. 

Students make sense of complex problems involving numerical data, evidence, uncertainty, and logical reasoning.

Follow the Evidence!

Forensic science as a discipline is a natural vehicle for students to practice science as inquiry. For every piece of physical evidence brought in for analysis, the student must apply the scientific method of:      

  • observing
  • forming a hypothesis
  • collecting and classifying data
  • testing the hypothesis
  • looking for relationships
  • advancing to a conclusion or opinion backed up by evidence
