High school teachers were transformed into Crime Scene Investigators during two weeks of training by the Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility.
High school teachers learned how to be crime scene investigators during two summer training programs offered by the Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility at Sam Houston State University.
At the Pattern Evidence class, Texas high school teachers got hands-on experience in lifting fingerprints, taking impressions from gun barrels, separating bullets, and casting footprints and tire tracks. During the Advanced CSI class, teachers got to take crime scene photos, search and map crime scenes, identify animal and human bones, explore entomology in the field and recover human skeletal remains.
The teachers will return to their classrooms this fall armed with new information, resources and experiments to explore applications in forensic science, criminal justice and other sciences with their students.
