Measurement Lab - SI System




Chemistry and ChemCom students are studying the SI (International System) of units, the main system used in scientific investigations. It is also called the metric system. They have been getting some practice in distance, volume, and mass measurements in the lab to prepare them for doing quantitative scientific experiments.

Forensic Science students are studying fingerprint analysis this week. They prepared fingerprint sheets and classified their fingerprints. They also examined a mock crime scene for fingerprints, applying dusting and fuming techniques, and using a videoscope to enlarge the prints.
