Science News
Students in Mrs. Cinque's forensic science class are collecting evidence (hair, fuzz, fur, food, etc.) from previously worn clothing and trying to deduce what activities/people/things the evidence came from.
The activity involves Locard’s Exchange Principle: “With contact between two items, there will be exchange.”
