Day 3 I-Stem

Well, if I ever want to make blood-and-gore movies, I now know how to make fake blood.  Today we tried different recipes to see whether maple syrup would work as well as karo syrup, how many drops of red food coloring to add, how much blue or green to add, how much cornstarch to use, etc...trying to make "perfect" blood.   Then we went outside and made blood spatter posters to show different types of blood spatter patterns.

Next on the agenda was modeling clay and lots of tools/instruments to hit, stab, and make different type of trauma on the clay. 

Our blood spatter---big blobs were dropped, long lines were flung

Strawberry DNA separation; the DNA separates into sticky, gooey strands kind of like snot

Finally, each group came up with a crime scene scenario using at least three forensic tests and presented to the rest of the class.  Tomorrow each group will teach a lesson to the other groups.  Our group is using candy photochromography.
