Cadets are working on their forensics career reports which will be collected on Friday, 9/28. We will begin our study of hair analysis used as part of a forensic investigation. We will examine our own hair samples under a microscope, and conduct a lab to see if our skills of observation will allow us to differentiate between our classmates hair samples, and those of a crime suspect.

We set up our first mock crime scene following rules for first responders, sketch artists, photographers and evidence collectors.
We will discuss our scenes to find out what we did well and what we can improve on next time. We will finish the chaper on Evidence Collection, with a quiz on Wednesday after a review and summary of concepts learned. We will finish the week with the study of hair, and its importance as trace evidence at a crime scene.

This week our focus will be on velocity and acceleration calculations. We created a graph of acceleration, using data from wooden cars rolling down ramps of various heights. We will have a quiz, solving problems for acceleration on Wednesday, and will have our first test on speed velocity and acceleration on Friday. We will also look at Newton's laws of motion and begin to study forces involved in car crashes.

This week we will begin our study of crime scene investigation and evidence collection. We will study criminal cases where the improper handling made it impossible to convict a criminal. Our first assessment will be Friday, and will cover concepts learned this week on evidence collection protocol and procedures of a crime scene investigation.

This week we will design and conduct experiments using the experimental design format to solve the problem of determining the speed of a golf ball and a ping pong ball. Students will use their data to calculate speed and graph their results. We will continue with our study of speed, acceleration, and velocity.
