Second: Just wanted to let you all know our J-Term is going along well! We are doing Forensic Sciences as a group and then Ki and & are learning about Theater/Acting and Connor and Gavin are doing Computer Programming. They all seem to REALLY enjoy it! Check out my blog for more posts about J-Term.

This week we processed a crime scene (complete with bullets, "blood", a "victim", fingerprints, and more), we took impressions for comparison, analyzed Mystery Powders, and more!

Gavin tried to register for a college class, but all the ones he wanted were full. He's on a waiting list.

Here is what we did with shoe prints and Crime-Cast!

SHOE PRINTS1. I cleared out an area of dirt in the garden next to the Orange Tree.
2. I put on an older shoe and stepped in the dirt, leaving a print.3. I called the CSI crew out to take a cast of the clue. Ki mixed the Cast Material.4. Connor Poured it.


5. We waited 30 minutes and Ki lifted it out of the ground.

5.5 We went inside, learned a few Acronyms ( ICPO, ATF, CIA, LAPD, etc)- the boys each researched 2 of them online and wrote a few sentences. Ki researches NCIS (as he likes that TV show)6. The cast dried inside the house over night and today C&K cleaned the dirt off of it.




7. Connor quickly found the match, though he looked at all the shoes, he was easily able to distinguish the non-matches.
