This forensic science activity works to simulate the process of blood spatter pattern analysis and crime scene reconstruction. This activity goes through the 5E science inquiry model, it is NGSS aligned, and it is EDITABLE.

Students will collaborate with their peers to make observations, ask questions, interpret blood spatter patterns, recreate the blood stain patterns, and develop a CER conclusion. This is an engaging lesson or lab that puts students in the shoes of forensic investigators.
