Goal
The goal is to develop students' perception skills by having them focus their attention on many details within a crime scene such as critical thinking skills, analytical skills, communication skills, reading proficiency, mathematical calculations and vocabulary development . They will be trained to use their observation skills to notice the details and objects in the numerous hands - on real-life applications and experiments that will be conducted in a specific crime scene classroom that has been afforded to me. The overarching goal of this project for my students to understand the importance and reliability of science in crime scene investigation. We learn that forensic scientists from the fields of anthropology, botany, entomology, odontology, toxicology, chemistry ,geology, and pathology among other sciences help reconstruct crime scenes, identify victims, determine cause of death, and identify offenders. It is my goal to teach my students about the uniqueness and reliability of the various sciences used to determine the timeline of events at a crime scene and through their own experimentation, students will learn about the numerous scientific aids involved in basic crime scene processing.

What will be done with my students
Students will learn through their own experimentation, multiple sciences are used to investigate crime scenes, fingerprinting, collecting hair and bloodstain pattern analysis, identifying humans and animals, conduct searches for physical evidence, collection of evidence, explain fingerprint interaction with porous and non porous surfaces, how to document a crime scene, skull and bone collections and able to differentiate the differences in male and females, the role of DNA, how to sketch and measure a crime scene and so on.
Benefits to my students
The benefits are endless. Students will be able to study crime scene investigation procedures, preservation of the crime scene, collection at a scene, the knowledge and understanding of the various sciences used and proper methods used to process a crime scene .Students will be able to demonstrate how to lift fingerprints, blood, bones, take photos all while be instructed on personal, interpersonal, and communication skills as well as being able to demonstrate employability skills. In conclusion I hope my students discover is that solving crimes involves a range of scientific methods and expertise along with reliable and relevant evidence that needs to be examined, recovered and processed at a crime scene and being able to conduct these classroom exercises will go a long way in showing students the methods needed to conduct such.
