Guest Lecturer
2005
Forensic Science Workshop, Portage Northern High School, Portage, MI
Developed and presented forensic science-based laboratory experiments to 25 high school science teachers
interested in incorporation of such materials into the classroom. Experiments included determination of blood
alcohol content using visible spectrophotometry following reaction with a chromophore as well as
comparison of soil composition (e.g. limestone, chloride, iron) using observation and visible
spectrophotometry following addition of appropriate indicator solutions.
