I love these activities that supports and enhances the lessons for BPA. They are easy to set up. Students use other science and math skills to conduct the lab (geometry, physics) It is a well written set of activities.

Educational Classroom Kits and Activities
How do Forensic Scientists Analyze Blood Spatter?

  • Aligned to NGSS Physical Science DCI PS2
  • Pre and post laboratory assessments
  • Linked to a real world scenario
  • Estimated class/lab time required: 120 minutes in 3 or 4 class periods
Both introductory and advanced kits have been aligned with all published National Standards. Pre- and Post-laboratory assessments and vocabulary words all target specific Science and Engineering Practices and common core standards. The teacher guide also contains specific "Did You Know" concepts that link the real world with scientific standards explored. A student copymaster is also included. Both activities include enough materials for eight student setups.

Introductory Blood Spatter Analysis Kit:
How do Forensic Scientists Analyze Blood Spatter?
In this kit, students will investigate the relationship between the height blood is dropped from and the diameter on the next drop on impact. They will also learn to recognize vertical blood drops on a variety of different textured surfaces and differentiate between high and medium velocity spatter such as from a gunshot or blunt force trauma. This kit utilizes NGSS Physical Science DCI PS2 (Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions).

Advanced Blood Spatter Analysis Kit:
What do bloodstains tell us?
In this kit, students will discover how forensic scientists analyze bloodstains from crime scenes. Students will learn to recognize and analyze bloodstain patterns on a variety of surfaces. They will then apply this knowledge to determine the sequence of events at a fictional crime scene and the approximate position of the victim when blood exited the body. This activity allows students to explore Physical Science Standards PS2.
