 * **Before-class preparation:**
 * **Have computers available for students to research blood spatter and create a list of reliable websites that explain the mathematics behind it in student friendly terms.**
 * **Obtain permission from parents for blood spatter lesson.**
 * **Create a rubric of requirements for the sample analysis and for scenario recreation** ||
 * **During class** ||
 * **Time**
 * Day One :

Day Two:

Day Three:

Day Four and Five: || Review right triangle trigonometry in situations. This may be done in small groups

Students will work with a partner to research blood spatter analysis online from the websites provided. They will then compile a list of mathematics requirements utilized in calculation the point of impact from spatter.

Students will utilize sample spatter and do mini-stringing for the spatter. This will give them the opportunity to calculate point of impact on a small level and allow them to calculate missing measurements from right triangles as reviewed in day one. Students will also explore the different types of spatter that can be created.

Students will be presented with a mock crime scene. Partners will take turns examining the crime scene and determining what kinds of spatter are represented and determine an appropriate method for measurements. They will then collect data from the crime scene and write up a statement about how the crime happened. Students will then present their findings to a small group of “experts” to determine what actually happened. || Permission slips

Teacher will continuously observe measurements and address questions as they arise. Each day overall findings will need to be collected and monitored for misconceptions of this process. The overall rubric presented initially will be utilized to keep students on track for the overall goal of applying trigonometry to real life situations to formulate a valid scenario for a crime.
 * Ongoing assessment(s):**

Students having difficulty with data collection and calculations will be provided with a step by step cheat sheet that will allow them to continue to make measurements but in a much more guided method.
 * Accommodations and extensions:**

Sample spatter and crime scene will be available before and after school for students requiring more time. References: Michigan Department of Education.

Day Two:

Day Three through Five: || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> Students will be introduced to the class wiki. Due to this being a new use of technology for this class I feel that a class period would be necessary to allow each group the experience of compiling their findings in an appropriate manner for peer review.

Students will work with a partner to evaluate other group findings and ask probing questions of each group to assist in formulating an appropriate conclusion. Students will be allowed access of the crime scene again to clarify questions that arise from peer evaluation.

Students will edit their crime scene data for the wiki and begin creating a layout for their own crime scene. They will need to have an outline of a scenario to post to the wiki for peer review. After the outline has been reviewed and adjustments made students will be allowed to create their crime scenes and submit photographs for peer review as well. The photographs need to demonstrate the ability to capture appropriate evidence in order to evaluate the crime scene for crime recreation. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> Computers

The students will then have the opportunity to create their crime scenes and take photographs of their scenes to post as well for peer review.
