Lesson Plan for Wednesday, December 19, 2012

Hello everyone. I'm once again home with a sick child so here's the drill for today. You will be completing a web quest on blood analysis and blood typing. Please follow all directions and carefully read through each section of the web quest. If you don't follow the directions, then you will end up doing more work than necessary. Upon completion of the web quest, you may work on your fingerprinting test that is due on Thursday. Good luck.

Hello everyone. I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Well, it looks like the learn site is not going to be back anytime soon, so I put together an online file storage site for class materials to use while we wait to see what happens with the learn site.

Lesson plan for December 11, 2012

For today’s lesson, students will be working on a computer to check out some websites on fingerprinting. I will be placing this lesson plan on the class blog so they may start by going to http://landryforensicscience.blogspot.com/  Here’s the plan of attack for today:

 

 
1. Good things:  3rd block click here      4th block click here                        Do not spend any more than 5 minutes on this or you will run out of time. You can come back to it once you are finished.
 
2. Next you should work on the Fingerprint Web Worksheet. You will be using the website http://sciencespot.net/Pages/kdzforsci.html for today’s assignment. The instructions I think are quite clear and all of the links are working. If you would like an electronic version of the document, click here
 
3. When finished with this, you can look at some of the other links found on the website that go with previous units that we have used in class, or you can look ahead at the blood and DNA stuff (serology).
 
4. Extra credit – find an interactive website on any topic that we have previously covered (or blood and DNA) that I could use for future classes. Go to the class blog entry for today and leave a comment that has the link and a short explanation as to what can be done at that site AND how it would be beneficial for future classes. Please be detailed with your explanation or you will not receive credit. You may not use the same resources that are already shown in the comments by previous classes.
