Scientists work under a distinctive set of values.
Students whose learning includes data, a testable
hypothesis, and predictability in science will share in the
values of the scientist they study.  Additionally “science  
education is in a particularly strong position to foster
three attitudes and values: curiosity, openness to new
ideas, and skepticism.” Forensic science addresses
each of these by engaging students in thought-
provoking, open ended discussions and projects.
Forensics is a fascinating subject that employs all   
areas and types of science. To that end, it offers both
an excellent platform for science instruction and
practice as well as wide-ranging field for assessment.
