Question:​ For your crime scene at MUIDS, what analyses (tests) would you like to run on the evidence
found at the scene?

Format:​ In a document, have your period and full last names at the top. In the body, create a table with 4
columns. In the first column, put a number. In the second column, list the name of the test that you want
to run. In the third column, tell me about the test such as how the test works and what equipment it uses.
In the fourth column, tell me why you want to run that test. Fill out all four columns for each test. Each
test gets its row.
