9/10 Forensic Science

Year 9/10 students in Forensic Science have continued studying various forensic examination techniques. They have dissected owl pellets and identified bones, teeth and skulls of various small animals from within the pellets.

Currently students are observing different natural and synthetic fibres using microscopes. Students are considering how fibre identification may provide crucial evidence in criminal cases. They are looking at various animal furs and wools as well as a range of natural and synthetic fabrics. Students are using the characteristics of these fibres to identify unknown fibre samples.
