Ever wonder how detectives piece together a crime scene to find the suspect?
Forensic Science is one of the most exciting subjects to study and forms a crucial part of the criminal justice system. Through a focus on practical science and inquiry skills, as well as scientific ways of observing, questioning and thinking, students will learn how to gather various pieces of evidence to come to a calculated conclusion. Students will match blood and hair samples, identify and take fingerprints, evaluate handwriting and autopsy results, go through witness testimonials and learn how to identify deception in people and use logic to put everything together.
Students provide evidence of their learning through four assessments from thefollowing areas:
Assessment Type 1: Inquiry Folio (60%)
Assessment Type 2: Collaborative Inquiry (40%)
The course is a 10 credit point subject that does not continue to Year 12, and would be relevant to someone with an interest in Science. It does not replace any of the other Science subjects on offer in Semester 2.
Je, umewahi kujiuliza jinsi wapelelezi wanavyounganisha sehemu za eneo la uhalifu ili kupata mshukiwa? Sayansi ya Forensic ni moja ya masomo ya kusisimua zaidi ya kusoma na fomu sehemu muhimu ya mfumo wa haki ya jinai. Kwa kuzingatia ujuzi wa kisayansi na uchunguzi, pamoja na njia za kisayansi za kuchunguza, kuuliza na kufikiri, wanafunzi watajifunza jinsi ya kukusanya vipande mbalimbali vya ushahidi ili kuja kwa hitimisho la kuhesabiwa. Wanafunzi watafanya upatanisho wa sampuli za damu na nywele, kutambua na kuchukua alama za vidole, kutathmini maandishi ya mkono na matokeo ya uchunguzi wa maiti, kupitia ushuhuda wa mashahidi na kujifunza jinsi ya kutambua udanganyifu katika watu na kutumia mantiki kuweka kila kitu pamoja. "Mwanafunzi anapaswa kutoa ushahidi wa kujifunza kupitia tathmini nne kutoka maeneo yafuatayo: ""Mfano wa tathmini: uchunguzi wa folio"" (62%) ""Mfano wa tathmini: uchunguzi wa ushirikiano"" (40%) ""Mtaala ni 10 pointi ya mkopo ambayo haifanyi kazi hadi mwaka wa 12 na itakuwa muhimu kwa mtu yeyote mwenye nia ya sayansi." Ni si kuchukua nafasi ya yoyote ya masomo mengine ya Sayansi zinazotolewa katika Semester 2.
