 Forensic Science students continue to enhance their CSI skills. Last week forensic odontology was covered. Students took casts of their own teeth and identified their own unique dental structure. They were then able to develop their own set of objective criteria for bite mark analysis.
This week forensic students worked on foot print analysis. Labs included comparing height and shoe size with stride length to determine individual characteristics from footprints left at a crime scene. Three dimensional plaster footprint casts were created in the last lab. Forensic students will continue to add additional skills needed to solve a wide variety of testing.
