13C Experimental Procedures

The purpose of this assignment is to: Enable you to demonstrate your understanding of forensic procedures and your ability to carry them out efficiently adapting them if required.

Scenario: You are working as one of the laboratory team for the Forensic Science Service your job is to analyse evidence as it comes in from the crime scene. Working from the plan from assignment 13B you will carefully analyse the evidence and collect the results to see if this points to the suspect Task 1 You need to collect the evidence your team collected at the start of this unit and analyse it according to your procedures you produced in assignment 13B. You need to write a short report showing your results and drawing conclusions from your investigations. You will be supplied with samples from each of the suspects try to find the culprit. You can photograph yourself carrying out these practicals as evidence for your portfolio This provides evidence for P4

Task 2 You need to include in your report for task 1 a description of the patterns observed and any relevant connections you observed. You need to correctly identify the perpetrator and explain what evidence led you to this conclusion. You need to describe which data was quantative and which was qualitative and how you drew conclusions from each. You may wish to ask yourself the following questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. What conclusions can you form concerning the patterns in the data? What relationships are shown? What kinds of changes take place? What things are linked together? What links can be made between the data and the crime? This provides evidence for M4

Welling School Science Dept L2 BTEC Applied Science Task 3 Following on from the previous 2 tasks you need to evaluate the qualitative and quantative data, explaining the patterns and interpreting conclusions. You may wish to ask the following questions: 1. What is the significance of the patterns? 2. What has caused the patterns and connections? 3. Why have they occurred? This provides evidence for D3
