Projectile and Flammable Evidence Survey

Student Name:
Time Estimate: 10 minutes

Guiding Question: How do you feel about your knowledge of the origins and use of ballistics, arson, and collisions
evidence?

Instructions:
Place a T beside those statements you think are true and a F beside those statements you think are false.

Anticipation Statements:
1. Arson evidence includes the progression of the fire and accelerants used.

2. Newton's laws are not essential to know in forensic science.

3. Ballistic evidence can help piece together events of a crime.

4. Sound waves are not impacted by movement or objects in between them.

5. Bullets travel the same even when the gun moves due to the force.

6. Physics can help recreate a crime scene in more detail.

Instructions:
Place a score from 1 to 5 beside each statement. The scoring values are as follows:
 Strongly agree = 5
 Agree = 4
 Neutral = 3
 Disagree = 2
 Strongly disagree = 1

Anticipation Statements:
1. Ballistic evidence is easy to collect from a crime scene.

2. I know how to identify the stages of a fire with various accelerants.

3. I understand Newton's laws and how they would apply to a crime scene.

4. A ballistics expert is needed for all crimes involving firearms and gunshots.

5. Analyzing car crashes is not as important as taking witness statements.
