So in the new hurumanu classes, we are writing about the subject here is what we are learning about. 

Nici’s Paragraph Who are forensic scientists? What does a forensic scientist do?

 Forensic science is something that helped people find out what happened at a murder site or a robbery (Any crime basically.) Some reasons why we need it is because if we didn't have it we would never know what happened, or who killed someone or how something happened. Another reason why we need it is that without it you wouldn't have an idea of how to solve murders. Forensics Scientists are someone that solves murders or any crime. They are like a detective but does other things than ask questions about the murder. 

Nevaeh’s Paragraph: What types of evidence do they collect from crime scenes?

The evidence they collect is very important to the whole crime scene. They could collect almost anything from a crime scene, I learnt this in class, the evidence that can be collected are weapons, fibres, cells, CCTV, DNA ect. They can analyse substances such as glass, paint, fire debris and fibres which can provide crucial evidence in a case. This kind of non-biological evidence can provide vital links between the victim, suspect and crime scene.
