When I went to graduate school I was lucky enough to choose a master's program in forensic science. Forensic toxicology to be specific. So after I graduated I was thinking to myself, what do I have to offer in the way of homeschool curriculum and of course, forensic science immediately came to mind. Kids LOVE anything and everything to do with crime scene investigation. It just perks up their interest when you start talking about solving a crime.
Realistically, I knew that this type of course is not for all ages, and so that is why I wrote the Simple Schooling Forensic Science course for upper middle and high school. This is an elective course. They can take
it in addition to biology and another year of CORE science, but realistically they cannot take it in place of those important subjects.
I did decide to leave a few topics out, such as blood spatter and graphic details about body appearance after certain types of death (because in school I was forced to see these and I will say, I am not easily grossed out but burn and drowning victims, not very palatable.)
So the REALLY gory details are left out but included in the text are CSI, death investigation, solving a case study, ballistics, toolmarks, arson, poisoning, toxicology, DNA analysis, the autopsy, fingerprints, and much much more.
It is a great course, one of our most popular in fact. And that is why I added it to The Simple Schooling Classroom as part of the yearly subscription rate. It comes with the full printable student textbook/workbook and 6 interactivities for each unit (20 separate units total). If you are a Simple-Zine newsletter subscriber you will get a free sample of it in the upcoming weeks. ;)
