To recognize cause and effect of death on the human body, the chronological chains of events, related biological and chemical changes, the connections between humans and other living things, and understand the potential data made available by concurrent events. Forensic science utilizes all levels of scientific inquiry, specifically chemistry, human physiology and biochemistry,to analyze physical evidence with the ultimate goal of recreating the events of the crime for a jury in a court of law.This unit focuses on drugs, toxicology and the chemistry of alcohol, physical evidence collection and analysis using technology that incorporates core principles from chemistry, physics, biochemistry and human physiology.
