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
