UNIT 5 LAB
Crime Scene: Processing Evidence
Imagine that you’ve been working with the CSI and Police Department in your local
area as lead forensic scientist for quite a few years now. The department has
recently put a young, brand new forensic scientist to work on a case with you, so
they can better learn the ropes from a seasoned vet like yourself! The two of you are
on your way to investigate a crime scene where a dead body was found just a few
hours ago. Of course, it’s imperative that you teach the new forensic scientist the
proper way to handle evidence and an investigation!
Crime Scene:
You walk up to the crime scene. A dead body is lying on the bank of the river, just a few miles
outside of the city. There is a bullet wound on the victim’s chest where it appears a bullet
entered the body. There are a few bullets that have been found scattered near the body of
the victim. You can see that a gun is resting on the bottom of the river in the shallow end near
the shore.
Do some online research regarding what should be done first at any crime scene and how
evidence should be processed. Based on your research, and what you learned in the unit,
answer the questions. (Helpful websites:
