You must create a 3-D model of DNA. This may be a physical model or an original 3-D computer model. We have software in school to create a computer model. You may work with a partner if you choose. The model must be at least one foot tall and can be made of anything you wish. It must demonstrate both the ‘backbones’ and the base pairs as well as the double helix structure.

You will have a test on Monday, 3/12/07 that includes:

• All the autopsy information – cause of death, time of death, identifying the victim
• All the information associated with the above – such as ballistics and bullet matching, male vs. female skulls etc..
• Any and all information previously covered in the course – life is cumulative and so is this test! (however, most of it will be on the new information)

On my forensics page, click the link Post Mortem Events and read the section on What Happens After Death.

Take the Forensics Practice Autopsy Quiz also on my web page.

Study for the upcoming test on determining identity, cause and time of death.

Color both sides of the handout (heart conduction system and blood vessels) and label the blood vessels (arteries) on the diagram. You should know all the pictured arteries for the test.

Read pages 46-52 of the “Inside the Cell” book. Then read (in the textbook) the following sections of Chapter 8: 8.6, 8.7 and 8.9. Answer the following Check and Challenge questions: page 225 #2,3,4 and page 229 #2,3,4
