Direction: Answer the following.

1. Where are those oxides above related to? Why do you say so? (10 points)

Ans: it is related to glass making and the qualities of glass. Those oxides or chemicals given are needed
to give it the perfect balance, it gives the glass qualities in ways that it could withstand heat and doesn’t
easily break

2. Name at least 2 scenarios/ situations/ crimes which your answer for item number 1 will be

used. Elaborate. (10 points)

crime investigation for robbery and carnapping both of these crimes may somehow be involved in glass
investigation because some scenarios include glass breaking and it gives glue on what they did to make
the crime possible.in carnapping most results of these are breaking of the window with a hard object or
a knife it will give clue on how they did it because of the way the glass was broken

Assessment Direction: Answer the following briefly.

1. Name at least three (3) common crimes where glass evidences are used. (5 points)
