Forensic Science for High School

Forensics
Overview
Forensic Science for High School is an introductory forensic science course that focuses on practices and analysis of physical evidence found at crime scenes. Now available in Flourish, the Kendall Hunt Learning Network, the program can be used as a complete curriculum or as individual eChapters that can be used to supplement biology, chemistry, or general science coursework.  To learn more, click here.

The evidence shows that students become more interested and engaged in science when they can approach it in a hands-on way. Forensic Science for High School not only captures their interest, but allows students to practice science in collaborative and interactive ways that make learning relevant and fun.

Teachers can use the entire curriculum or purchase individual eChapters that serve as an effective supplement for biology, chemistry, or general science classes. And with the purchase of any eChapter, you’ll also get free access to Chapter 1, which provides an introduction to the fascinating world of forensic science.

Additional resources, like NSTA SciLinks® and labs, are easily accessed from the online text and from within Flourish. Interactive and engaging virtual autopsies bring an integral part of forensics into the 21st century by giving students an opportunity to examine a case study, conduct an autopsy, record information and take notes just like a pathologist, then hypothesize and determine a manner of death.

And in Flourish, teachers can even participate in professional development activities with a simple mouse click!
