Forensic Project!
In this project we were assigned 1 out of 3 crime scenes to gather evidence, write evidence logs, and analyze collected data. We gathered evidence we would go onto our crime scene (complete with fake blood, real insects, shoe prints, tire tracks, and other pieces of evidence) and take pictures of the evidence that we collect. In crime scene 3 we collected insects, blood samples, trash bags, and a pearl alcohol bottle. We then analyzed this evinced by using DNA extraction (represented by a strawberry,) Finger print analysis using super glue fuming, tire track and shoe casting, and ink prints. Using these tools we then identified the vicdim and the killers in the crime scene we were assigned.
The most positive part of this project was understanding the process of understanding forensics. I now have an understanding of how indebted research can get and I am now inspired to conduct some sort of research when I choose a carrier path. Also, I now have an understanding of how forensic professionals understand and analyze information. This project has inspired me to choose this as a carrier path.
If I were able to redo this project I would choose to do more labs about how to amplify and extract DNA from different organisms. I am really interested in that process. Also, I would choose to make my poster board more refined as well. It looks okay, but, I would choose to get a bigger board and make it more clean and refined.
