This week we will focus on textile and fabric evidence as it relates to a crime scene. We will examine and test a variety of textiles and fabrics for weave patterns and testable physical and chemical properties.

This week we will focus on the forces at work during a collision. We will explore the importance of wearing a seatbelt, by designing a crash dummy (with a flexible neck) to demonstrate Newton's f1rst law of inertia. Cadets will take a PSAT practice test on Wednesday, and do not have school on Friday.

We have completed our unit on forensic hair analysis by taking a quiz today. We will continue this week with textile analysis. We will also informally present our Forensic Career essays,to share information gathered on a variety of careers in forensic science.

This week we will be introduced to various types of renewable, alternate energy sources in preparation for writing an essay, to highlight the pros and cons of using this energy form to replace or supplement our dependence on fossil fuels. The cadets will research, in class, one energy form of their chosing. Their essay is due on October, 9th (Tuesday) and is worth 100 summative points. The link to the rubric can be found on my schoolnotes page. We will continue our study of forces, by calculating safe stopping distances and use car crashes to demonstrate and reinforce Newton's laws of motion.

We will continue our study of Newton's laws as they apply to car crashes. We will conduct a lab where we design a safety restraint for a clay dummy, to help protect him from the force of a crash in our wooden cars. Our first quiz on forces and Newton's laws will be Thursday. Newton's laws webquests and force practice problems are due by the end of the day Tuesday.
