Monday, March 2 – A Day
Tuesday, March 3 – B Day
- Lecture:
- Brief discussion on Blood-Spatter Patterns
- history of blood spatter analysis
- blood spatter pattern analysis
- directionality of blood
- bloodstain patterns
- area of convergence
- angle of impact calculations
- blood velocity and spatter size
- Brief discussion on Blood-Spatter Patterns
- Lab 1 – Blood Spatter Analysis: Effect of Height on Blood Drops
- students will compare and contrast the blood spatter produced at various heights with regard to size, shape and number of satellites
- students will be able to distinguish between the parent drop and satellites
- students will analyze their results from the experiment and prepare a summary of the effect of height on blood spatter-stains
Wednesday, March 4 – A Day
Thursday, March 5 – B Day
- Complete Q & A from Lab 1 on Tuesday
- Lab 2 – Area of Convergence / Blood Droplet Impact Angle
- students will be able to distinguish between passive blood spatter and blood spatter that was produced by some type of force
- students will be able to determine the forward direction of the bloodstain based on it’s shape
- students will create blood spatter patterns from different angles of impact
- students will examine the relationship between angle of impact and blood-spatter patterns
- students will calculate the angle of impact from blood-spatter patterns
Friday, March 6 – A Day
