1 Forensic Science Course# 214 McCann Technical School 70 Hodges Crossroads North Adams, MA November 2010 Mucci, March 2011, Course #214, Page 1
2 Course Philosophy Forensic Science is an integrated science course that incorporates subject matter from biology, chemistry, physics, math, engineering, law, psychology, and ethics. Goals of the Course: To allow students at all levels of need to participate and succeed To expand the study of scientific concepts beyond the standard curriculum To apply scientific concepts to real world applications To incorporate authentic, hands on laboratory activity in each unit of study Course Description Forensic Science is a double period class which meets every day during the students academic week. Forensics is the study of science in the pursuit of law. Forensic Science introduces students to the many types of evidence that can be collected in order to prove a case. Each type of evidence is researched, utilized, and discussed in order to build the technical skills necessary for the culminating activity of the course which is to process and analyze a mock crime scene. Course Syllabus As each type of evidence is presented in class, students will examine both the techniques involved in processing evidence and the information that can be drawn from each type of evidence. Students will have an opportunity to practice the necessary techniques and report on conclusions drawn. Current information in the form of magazine and newspaper articles and/or internet websites will be incorporated into the course of study. Course Assessment Plan: For the Forensic Science students at McCann Technical School the quarterly grades will be determined as follows: Test 30% Labs/Projects 20% Class Activities 15% Journal Writing 15% Homework 10% Class Participation & Notes 10% Total 100% Grading System: Report cards are issued quarterly and serve as a guideline for students and their parents to measure achievement. Parents are encouraged to contact teachers and counselors to ensure a Mucci, March 2011, Course #214, Page 2

Make observations, raise questions, and formulate hypotheses. Observe the world from a scientific perspective. Pose questions and form hypotheses based on personal observations, scientific articles, experiments, and knowledge. Mucci, March 2011, Course #214, Page 3
4 Read, interpret, and examine the credibility and validity of scientific claims in different sources of information, such as scientific articles, advertisements, or media stories. SIS2. Design and conduct scientific investigations. Articulate and explain the major concepts being investigated and the purpose of an investigation. Select required materials, equipment, and conditions for conducting an experiment. Identify independent and dependent variables. Write procedures that are clear and replicable. Employ appropriate methods for accurately and consistently o making observations o making and recording measurements at appropriate levels of precision o collecting data or evidence in an organized way Properly use instruments, equipment, and materials (e.g., scales, probeware, meter sticks, microscopes, computers) including set-up, calibration (if required), technique, maintenance, and storage. Follow safety guidelines. SIS3. Analyze and interpret results of scientific investigations. Present relationships between and among variables in appropriate forms. o Represent data and relationships between and among variables in charts and graphs. o Use appropriate technology (e.g., graphing software) and other tools. Use mathematical operations to analyze and interpret data results. Assess the reliability of data and identify reasons for inconsistent results, such as sources of error or uncontrolled conditions. Use results of an experiment to develop a conclusion to an investigation that addresses the initial questions and supports or refutes the stated hypothesis. State questions raised by an experiment that may require further investigation. SIS4. Communicate and apply the results of scientific investigations. Develop descriptions of and explanations for scientific concepts that were a focus of one or more investigations. Review information, explain statistical analysis, and summarize data collected and analyzed as the result of an investigation. Explain diagrams and charts that represent relationships of variables. Construct a reasoned argument and respond appropriately to critical comments and questions. Use language and vocabulary appropriately, speak clearly and logically, and use appropriate technology (e.g., presentation software) and other tools to present findings. Use and refine scientific models that simulate physical processes or phenomena. Biology, High School 3.1 Describe the basic structure (double helix, sugar/phosphate backbone, linked by complementary nucleotide pairs) of DNA, and describe its function in genetic inheritance. 4.8 Recognize that the body s systems interact to maintain homeostasis. Describe the basic function of a physiological feedback loop. Mucci, March 2011, Course #214, Page 4
