Kim C Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 My ds13 is interested in taking a forensic science class this upcoming year. Does anyone have a curriculum they have used and would recommend? Also, I would like to hear from those who have used a forensic science curriculum that they would not recommend. Thanks! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Is there a particular aspect or just in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 We did forensic science with ds last year. Here is a thread in which I gave links to some of the resources we used. There are also others who gave useful suggestions as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim C Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Is there a particular aspect or just in general? For now, just in general. He just wants something that covers the basics of forensic science. I just want to a curriculum that is engaging and covers the basics.

~Anna~ Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 This book looks pretty good. I don't have it, but it got pretty good reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Search for forensics instead of forensic science, it made all the difference :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 My son is taking one with a group this year. One of the things they are going to do is Murder at Old Fields. They are also going to the annual open house at the SBI where they will tour the crime lab. The open house is the only time of the year that they allow people in the crime lab.

Kim C Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks for the good info, especially the tip to search for 'forensics'. I knew there had to be info on here somewhere. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
