Your Classroom
Forensic Science is a natural vehicle for students to practice science as inquiry. For every piece of physical evidence brought in for analysis, the student must apply the scientific method of:
• Observing
• Collecting and classifying data
• Forming a hypothesis
• Testing the hypothesis
• Looking for relationships
• Advancing to a conclusion or opinion
