The CJ Instructor ENCOURAGES family members to participate in the Crime Scene Investigations assignments! Have fun with it as a family! CJ2 students may need help creating their own mock crime scene at home.
Here are a few helpful FAQs:
1. What if my student is a hybrid student?
They will receive their kit in class and can take it home. They do not need to bring it back each week.
2. Do we need to return the kits?
No. Most of the contents will be used up by the end of the CSI block; however, any remaining items are yours to practice with, courtesy of LCS!
3. When should the kits be opened?
It is HIGHLY recommended that students wait until the instructor advises students to open their kits. Students will receive a notification on Google Classroom. If items are lost or damaged prior to an assignment, there are no replacement kits. Assignments will be rolled out over a period of 6 weeks, so please do not "get ahead" of using the contents.
4. What do the kits contain?
Kits contain various items for documenting, collecting, packaging, and labeling physical evidence. A list will be available on Google Classroom. Students should be VERY careful with the latent fingerprint powder, as it is VERY messy, and they should avoid opening the vile of distilled water until the assignments regarding DNA collection are released. Finally, all blood evidence is synthetic but should be handled as if it is real...like a legit CSI would do! Gloves are included in the kit, and they are sized according to a Google Form students completed during Q3W2 in Google Classroom.
5. Will students need to provide any of their own materials for assignments?
Yes. Students will need access to a camera (phone camera is just fine) to take photographs of their evidence. Students will also be asked to create a few pieces of physical evidence using common household items.
