CSI Club
Description:
The CSI club is an extension of the Forensic Science Suite from the Synergistics Lab class. The students investigate the science behind criminal investigations. The teams use real-world tools to learn and practice the same kinds of techniques used by their professional counterparts. The students will learn as a team to identify and collect evidence, and analyze the data collected in order to solve given scenarios.
Requirement/Objectives:
· Explore the history of forensic science and the use of scientific principles to solve crimes.
· Learn the technique used to lift fingerprints from a piece of evidence.
· Explore the DNA fingerprinting process.
· Learn about the history of forensic chemistry.
· Examine trace evidence and capture digital images of crime scenes along with sketching and analyzing.
· Learn about different types of chromatography.
· Test the physical and chemical properties of unknown powders, soils, and gun shot residues.
Meetings:
(Synergistics Lab) Tuesdays from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
