SLW Centennial forensic science students delved into learning about blood typing through an engaging and interactive lab assignment. This hands-on experience was based on a real crime story from the 1930s, providing a historical context that enriched the learning process.
The assignment began with students learning about the crime, and gaining insights into the investigative techniques of the era. They then moved on to the practical component, where they used simulated materials to test the blood types of the crime victims. This exercise allowed them to apply theoretical knowledge in a realistic setting, enhancing their understanding of forensic science principles.
As part of the lab, students tested various blood samples and practiced completing phenotype charts. This activity not only reinforced their knowledge of blood types but also honed their analytical and critical thinking skills.
