Forensic Science I: Secrets of the Dead
This course cannot be used toward Adult Graduation Credits
Fingerprints. Blood spatter. DNA analysis. The world of law enforcement is increasingly making use of the techniques and knowledge from the sciences to better understand the crimes that are committed and to catch those individuals responsible for the crimes. Forensic science applies scientific knowledge to the criminal justice system.
This course focuses on some of the techniques and practices used by forensic scientists during a crime scene investigation (CSI). Starting with how clues and data are recorded and preserved, the student will follow evidence trails until the CSI goes to trial, examining how various elements of the crime scene are analyzed and processed. Students will complete assignments, perform simulated crime scene labs, and participate in discussion forums. Each unit also has a quiz game to prepare for an online unit quiz. There is also an online midterm and final exam.
No textbook is required but students will need to have access to a computer with the most recent Flash program to be able to view the course. This course does not meet the science 11 or 12 graduation requirement.
Forensic Science 11: Two – More Secrets of the Dead
This course cannot be used toward Adult Graduation Credits.
Although the crime scene represents the first step in solving crimes through forensic science, the crime laboratory plays a critical role in the analysis of evidence. This course focuses on the analysis of evidence and testing that takes place within this setting. We will examine some of the basic scientific principles and knowledge that guides forensic laboratory processes, such as those testing DNA, toxicology, and material analysis. Techniques such as microscopy, chromatography, odontology, entomology, mineralogy, and spectroscopy will be examined.
NO TEXTBOOK REQUIRED. Course is presented in a series of video lessons, with students completing practice questions. Topics to be covered include powers and exponent laws, prime factorization, multiplying and dividing polynomial expressions, trigonometry, linear relations and functions, graphing, function notation, arithmetic sequences, systems of equations and financial literacy. Students will submit worked questions and will complete online quizzes.
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies, in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus.
Topics include mathematical reasoning, angle relationships, graphical analysis, applications of statistics, scale models, and financial literacy.
Foundations of Math 12 centers around the big ideas of probabilistic thinking, data modelling, financial decisions, and geometric explorations.
The course instruction is offered through StudyForge lesson videos, note packages, and practice questions.
The topics include geometry, graphical representations, regression analysis, combinatorics, probability, and financial planning.
This course is suited for students looking for post-secondary studies in arts and other faculties.
This course is for students who have knowledge of French such as students who have attended French Immersion (from kindergarten to grade 11), Intensive French (grades 6 to 11) or who are Francophone.
