Course Description

Have you ever wondered how investigators use science to solve mysteries? In this ongoing class, learners will discover the exciting world of forensic science while exploring the real techniques scientists use to examine evidence and uncover clues. Each week, we'll investigate a different area of forensic science, such as fingerprints, DNA, shoe prints, fibers, handwriting analysis, insects, digital evidence, and more. Through interactive lessons, demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on activities, students will learn the science behind each investigative tool and why it is valuable in an investigation. Many classes will also include a short detective challenge where learners can apply what they've learned by examining evidence, comparing clues, or using logical reasoning to solve a simple mystery. The focus is on scientific thinking—not guessing—helping students understand how investigators carefully collect evidence, analyze information, and avoid jumping to conclusions. Perfect for curious learners who love science, puzzles, and asking questions, this class encourages observation, critical thinking, and problem-solving while showing how science helps us better understand the world around us. No prior knowledge of forensic science is required, and learners are welcome to join at any point in the ongoing course.
