White Plains High School Forensic Science Syllabus

White Plains High School Forensic Science Syllabus Mrs. Spoon

Course Description: The Forensic Science elective focuses on the analysis of evidence collection, the decomposition process, crime scenes, skeletal remains, toxicology, and document validity. Case studies and crime scenarios help students understand the implications and complicated issues that are part of the science of forensics. Some course material will be graphic. I expect all students to be mature at all times. ______Classroom Rules: 1. Be in your seat, ready to begin work, when the bell rings. 2.
