I'M IMPRESSED - A DESIGN BRIEF

Created by

This challenge is one in a series of investigations that concentrates on forensic science (in this case, specifically, tool marks) and the process skills associated with pursuing such inquiries. This challenge presents an opportunity for students to develop a reasonable procedure for creating and comparing tool impressions. It is anticipated that students will make and record accurate observations, draw reasonable inferences, and write data-supported conclusions. It should be noted that students
