Forensic Science
Forensic Science is a course that uses a structured and scientific approach to the investigation of crimes of assault, abuse and neglect, domestic violence, accidental death, homicide, and the psychology of criminal behavior. Students will learn terminology and investigative procedures related to crime scene investigation, questioning, interviewing, criminal behavior characteristics, truth detection, and scientific procedures used to solve crimes. Using scientific methods, students will collect and analyze evidence through case studies and simulated crime scenes such as fingerprint analysis, ballistics, and blood spatter analysis. Students will learn the history, legal aspects, and career options for forensic science.
About the Teacher |
My name is Christi Bartel and I have been teaching at Weatherford High School for the past 8 years. I am a Weatherford High school graduate and am grateful that I get to work with the future graduates of this great school! After high school, I attended the University of Texas at Arlington and graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in nursing. I worked as an intensive care and emergency room nurse for five years prior to moving into education. While nursing, I served as a patient educator and found my love for teaching. I chose to move in to teaching full-time because I truly believe that building relationships and education are the keys to success. I love working with students and there is nothing greater than watching a student walk across the stage at graduation.
