208 (Pfahler Hall)
Workshop:Teaching Forensics
This workshop is intended primarily for high school teachers who want to incorporate forensics themed laboratory experiments into the chemistry curriculum. Several experiments will be demonstrated including: a TLC analysis of inks and lipsticks; an identification of fabrics using infrared spectroscopy, microscopy, and selective dyeing; an immunoassay laboratory experiment incorporating the principles of diffusion and precipitation; and soil analysis illustrating the principles of pH, particle size distribution, and moisture content. Many of the experimental methods can be incorporated into a crime scene scenario. An example of such an integrated laboratory experiment will be described.
