Unit 8 Lab Questions--Forensic Sci. - 1. Explain the work...

1. Explain the work being done at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and
why it is significant. They research bombs, so that in the future if a bomb were to
go off they’d be able to use their research to know what it was made out of and
who made it.
2. Following a bombing, what does Romero explain needs to be collected and why? Every
piece of evidence needs to be collected as to father every detail and figure out
what happened.
3. What type of forensic evidence was recovered during the bomb set off at the New
Mexico facility on the video that was similar to the evidence obtained at the Boston
bombings and how did this evidence allow researchers to connect other pieces of
evidence to the same bomb? The lid of a pressure cooker which isn’t commonly
found in the streets.
