Using Deductive Reasoning in the Real World

• Forensic scientists collect and evaluate evidence from a crime scene. Usually evidence is acquired in a random order and forensic scientists must piece the puzzle back together using logical and critical thinking skills—deductive reasoning.

• NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO USE YOUR DEDUCTIVE REASONING SKILLS!

Forensics Debriefing( Whole Class Accountable Talk)

• What was crime/problem?

• What is the solution? (Who, what, when & where)

• What method did you use to solve the crime?

• Again…MAKE THEM JUSTIFY THEIR OUTCOME(S)!

What would evidence collected at a crime scene do for the investigation?

What evidence would you collect?

Evidence Collection ModelPart I: Contract & Method/Model• First create a team contract with roles for the upcoming challenges.

• As a forensics team, create your own method/model for collecting evidence.

• This method/model should be logical & easy for someone else to use.

Part II: Collection• Use your team’s method/model for collecting evidence to document evidence from the crime scene in the classroom.
