• Overview of the Forensic Laboratory - an overview of the services offered at the New Hampshire forensic laboratory: biology, breath alcohol calibration, digital evidence, drug chemistry, fire debris, firearms and toolmarks, pattern evidence and toxicology.

• Evidence Collection and Chain of Custody -An introduction to the fundamental principles and techniques of criminal investigation. Working in groups students will secure a crime scene, process it and collect evidence.

• Fingerprints - Students apply several methods developed to identify and interpret patterns to the identification of fingerprints. Using practical exercises they will collect their own fingerprints, learn how to lift fingerprints from objects and analyze them.

• Blood, Body Fluids and DNA - where they are found, structure, function, chromosomes and genetic profiling .  Collection of a sample, how to test for body fluids and  how to evaluate a crime scene. 

• Blood Spatter - using biology, physic, math and photography to recreate pattern evidence and evaluate  a crime scene. 

• Crime Scene - a mock crime scene will be staged for students to work in groups to use the skills they have learned to present a synopsis of the case.

• Public Speaking -  Students will learn case preparation, organization and witness interviewing.  These skills will be developed using practical exercises recorded and discussed to prepare for testimony in the courtroom.
