These goggles were perfect for simulating varying blood alcohol concentration levels, allowing students to safely experience how impairment affects coordination, balance, and perception. We used them during our forensic toxicology unit, which includes a sub-unit on blood alcohol concentration and field sobriety. For the activity, students wore the goggles and rotated through hands-on stations such as walking a straight line, catching tennis balls, and driving around a toy car. While completing these stations, their lab partners collected data on accuracy and reaction time.\r\nWhen I first introduced the goggles, the classroom was filled with excitement and many of the students laughed that they were getting to simulate alcohol impairment. However, once students tried them on, the mood shifted from amusement to surprise as they realized just how disorienting being intoxicated can be. Many of my students are young drivers and soon-to-be college freshmen, so seeing firsthand how drastically alcohol affects the body made the lesson especially meaningful for my juniors and seniors. The activity encouraged conversations about responsibility, safety, and real-world consequences while tying it to how forensic scientists test blood alcohol in real life.\r\nThis lab has set the stage for deeper studies into drug and poison analysis, metabolism, and toxicology testing in forensic investigations. Thanks to our donors, my students aren't just learning textbook science but gaining real-world insight that connects scientific understanding to personal safety and future decision-making. Forensic science is such a wonderful subject because it brings science to life in a way that students can see, touch, and experience. These materials helped students use critical thinking, data analysis, and teamwork to draw conclusions based on real evidence, just as professionals do in the field.
