Every year caution tapes and blood splatters are found all over the school.  The halls are transformed into crime scenes that need solving.

Ms. Jessica Baker’s Forensic Science class experiences real-life crime scenes where they learn to “package evidence, work as a team, and analyze a scenario,” said Baker.

As for the students, they have to put their minds together and plan out a scene that correlates with the objectives. Each group was assigned a different kind of evidence (biological, chemical, and physical) that their story would revolve around.

Sylvia Nelson’s group demonstrated a fight that had broken out between two students. During the fight, one had, unfortunately, fallen over the railing by the stairs and broken his neck. The team had dripped blood around the victim’s neck area and on the stairs to show the aftermath of the accident.
