in your quad, and share something from the back of your name tent.
• Sit down when y’all are done.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Define Forensic Science.• Assess your form blindness.• Get to know Mr. Cater.• Describe the Critical Analysis
Assignments.• Review the syllabus. • Distribute permission letters.
What is Forensic Science?
Forensic Science is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences to investigate and establish facts of interest in relation to criminal or civil law. “Criminalistics” is a synonym for forensic science.
Stand up and discuss with your learning partner:
What characteristic do you think is most important for a forensic scientist to have?
(…meticulous, studious, etc…)
Sit down when you are done discussing.
3 groups will share
Forensic Scientists• Study the different types of evidence found at a
crime scene• Testify as an expert witness at a trial or hearing
– presents data– weighs evidence– gives an impartial opinion to the court
• Perform scientific research • Train others
Applying Science to Law
• Applying science to the Criminal Justice System depends on a scientist’s ability to supply accurate & objective information that reflects the events that have occurred at a crime.
• How do you get accurate and objective information?
Power of Observation
Video Experiment
Experimental Video
• While you are watching this movie, count the number of times the team in white passes the ball to each other.
• Count silently to yourself and make no comments during the movie.

Movie Debriefing
• Turn to your neighbor and describe what you noticed in the video.
How many of you saw something strange during the movie?
Background
• Video was made as part of an experiment designed to test people’s “inattentional blindness”
• In the original study at Harvard, only 42% of the people noticed the gorilla walking through the scene
• This activity illustrates the unreliability of eye-witness testimony, as well as the importance of observation to forensic scientists
Still not convinced?
• A lot of people have already heard about the gorilla video. Here are some more videos where I guarantee you will miss something that seems obvious: http://www.theinvisiblegorilla.com/videos.html#tryit
Observation Cont.
• Everyone observes in a different way, based on how we process information around us.
• Most crime labs test their CSIs to determine how observant they are. Let’s try one of their tests and see how you do.
Form Blindness Test
• 10 minutes
• Must remain silent during the test.

Form Blindness Test Debrief
• Discuss with your quad:– What was easy? Why?– What was hard? Why?– How big of a difference between highest and
lowest scores?– Why would they give this test to people who want
to be crime scene investigators (CSIs)?
Critical Analysis Assignments
• Read over the packet silently for 5 minutes.
Be prepared to answer some questions
Critical Analysis Assignments
• What is the purpose of these assignments?• When is the first assignment due?• What are the requirements for completing the
assignment?• How will I be graded? • When will I work on this?
Forensic Science Syllabus and Permission Letter
• Read silently for 2 minutes, then I’ll take questions.
• Bring back SIGNED BY PARENT on Wednesday.
Stand up and discuss with your learning partner
• What does “forensic” mean?• What is forensic science?• What surprised you about the observation videos?• What does the critical analysis assignment ask you
to do? How does it work?
EXTENSION
• With your quad, brainstorm as many different types of physical evidence you can think of.
• Write them on poster paper.
