In the Forensic Science courses taught at New Rochelle High School, students do the real work of real forensic scientists making what they do in class authentic. Because of this, students will be more likely to appreciate the sciences, perhaps encouraging them to choose a career in one of the related science fields. |

The students in this course are
taught the fundamentals of a criminal investigation and how it is applied
in a court of law. They learn by doing; they process crime scenes, analyze
lab data, conduct scientific investigations, interact with guest speakers,
explore the Internet and become familiar with various texts. Students
use technology to participate in activities that closely resemble those
used by law enforcement personnel, forensic scientists and district
attorneys. They document their findings through laboratory reports and
legal briefs to ultimately be presented to a student court and jury.
All of these tools are designed to engage a wide variety of learners
in our school's very diverse community. We also offer two sections of
college level forensic science where students receive credit from
Syracuse
University. |
