We were very happy when we got funded. With the first kit, my students were excited to apply forensic science methods in the classroom. They had a lot of fun analyzing the blood samples, the fingerprints, and the handwriting. By looking at the fibers and hair under the microscope, they were able to solve the case. This made them feel like they were real forensic scientists analyzing a crime scene. \r\nWith the second kit we are analyzing synthetic urine samples for the presence of alcohol and drugs. We have learned about the adverse effects of alcohol and drugs in the body, especially in the brain. The cases in the kit included the analysis of a possible driving under influence case and the screening of some patients for the use of other drugs. My students learned that laboratory work for urine samples includes colorimetric tests just like the ones included in the kit such as, Marquis and Simon. They are also learning that there are some specific tests for alcohol and marijuana. These were also included in the kit.\r\nI am truly thankful for your donations.
