Forensic Science CPU

Introduction

In the Forensic Science CPU, students determine the blood type for a "victim" and each of the suspects, then draw conclusions from your lab results.In the Forensic Science CPU, students complete in-depth explorations of forensic science and many of its sub-fields, including forensic medicine, odontology, pathology, chemistry, and toxicology.

Students discover the usefulness of DNA evidence and electrophoresis through an easy to understand simulation. They are also exposed to common forensic laboratory procedures, such as blood type determination, blood type matching, drug identification, and urinalysis. Although students practice proper safety precautions during the procedures, these experiments use harmless, simulated chemicals to protect students while giving them a real-world, hands-on experience.

Students also utilize the latest software to enhance their learning experience through multimedia presentations, movies, and interactive activities.
