What educators are saying
There is a lot of content here. Easy to expand on concepts presented. Students loved the interactive features.
I used this today in my trace evidence course; the lab's topic was intro. to blood spatter analysis and it was great! I printed out and made copies of the unknown spatter marks and had them laminated to use again; the students worked together to determine the angle of the spatter. Great class!

Description
This blood spatter activity is designed to help your students practice their forensics spatter analysis skills! It can be 100% digital, and easily used for distance learning.
Students will…
- Distinguish between blood dripping from close to the ground, vs high above the ground
- Know if a trail of blood came from someone who was running, or walking
- Determine which direction a drop of blood was moving when it hit a surface
- Recognize that long drops hit a surface at a low angle, while drops that are more round hit the surface at a higher angle (closer to 90 degrees)
- Measure the height and width of a blood drop
- Use that information to calculate the angle of impact
- Determine the point of origin within a 2D room
Check out the PREVIEW to see!
Resource Includes:
- Student Blood Spatter Analyst: Thirty One slide document. Students will move and rotate objects as they go, allowing them to interact with the slides as they answer questions. Includes a digital ruler and digital protractor! Instructions are included in the slides.
- Blood Spatter Analysis KEY: use for yourself or provide to your students after working to give them feedback
- Printable Versions of Blood Angle Calculations: There are two versions of this - one has ovals that guide students in their measurements. Distinguishing where the drop ends and where the tail starts is the hardest part of measuring! The ovals make it easy.
- Teaching Guide: with tips for doing the activity, sharing with your students and how to grade it faster!
Before Students Begin
This activity is designed to strengthen and reinforce concepts and skills for blood spatter analysis, and not necessarily to be the only exposure students have to the ideas. It would be helpful for them to learn about blood spatter first, and to see examples, before doing this activity. My students watch an online lecture about Blood Spatter Analysis and fill out notes before doing this activity: Blood Spatter Digital Notes!
