Forensic Science: Blood Evidence (Grades 7-8)
A hands-on workshop offered by the Center for Talent Development, Northwestern University, as part of the "Encounters at Home" series, where interactive demonstrations and activities allow students to observe some of the ways forensic scientists analyze blood during investigations.
Open to Grades 7-8; Eligibility Criteria Apply
This course is open to students by invitation of the Gifted India Network, only. This is a single-day CTD Encounters at Home course  that meets live online from 07:30am - 11:00am Central Time on Saturday,  12/18/21 (7:00pm - 10:30pm India Standard Time).
How do forensic scientists use blood to solve crimes? How are math  and physics applied to a crime scene investigation? Both in the  laboratory as well as at a crime scene, blood analysis provides  important evidence in forensic examination. In this hands-on workshop,  interactive demonstrations and activities allow students to observe some  of the ways forensic scientists analyze blood during investigations.  At-home experimentation and measurement provide students with an  insider's view of the job performed by bloodstain pattern analysts.
NOTE: This course may have required or recommended supplies that  families will be responsible for obtaining prior to the course. Supply  lists and recommended suppliers will be provided to families at least 5  days prior to the course. Supplies will not exceed $20 USD (prior to  shipping and handling).
