The following reports were written by members of Forensic Science during the second day of the program. Some elements may have been removed/edited for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

today in forensics we did puzzles that blew up your mind. the were hard. we had fun
Matthew
today wasn't i thought we used the computer more than any day but it wasn't as fun i hoped but as was able to enjoyy it
Christine
Today in class we talked about DNA. We took plant membranes and added alcohol to extract the DNA. The DNA was white. We didn't have a microscope so we couldn't actually see the double helix. Then after snack we did puzzles. Today was fun.
Azariah
Today, we learned about DNA, through some kind of slide show thing and we also got to solve some puzzles about murders and robbers and other different types of crimes.
Clarice
Today we were introduced to DNA, which was something I knew about, but not in depth. Then we solved logic puzzels which were hard yet still fun.
Camille
Today was really FUN!! First off we did DNA samples of plants and we actually saw it (the DNA)! Cool! huh! Then after that we had even more fun by solving mysteries. This is my kind of class. Can't wait until tommorow!
Aria
Today we did DNA samples and puzzles. The DNA samples were interesting because I had never seen DNA before and I learned how to extract DNA from a cell. The puzzles were challenging. Honestly, I got a headache trying to figure out the murder. It really made you contradict everything that was going on and what people said. It was fun and very interesting.
Arielle
Today in class we solved crimes using DNA. We also solved puzzles using logic which was alot of fun. I also think that forensic science is very cool and I would also consider going into Forensics when I get older.
Saquon
today was great but I did'nt have as mush fun as yesterday it was a little boring.well thats my reflection
Timya
Today was full of lots thiking, brainstorming, predictions, and solution strategies. We learned and investigated DNA, comparing to the robbery and the well was great thinking strategies. The other fun activities was the puzzles , I really enjoyed the puzzles because it was hardworking and fun solutions on sovling the puzzles. This was educatonal and a learning experience.
Brandyn
Today we learned about DNA and how to extract DNA. We also learned that every person has their own unique DNA. I enjoyed my day, here learning these fascinating things.
Brendan
Today we did logic puzzles, learned about DNA, and solved mysteries using DNA
Candice
Today's class was fun! That was the first time I EVER saw DNA up close. I learned a lot about how to seperate DNA and what DNA is used for. I liked all of the models we looked at that explained how scientist se DNA to solve crimes and look at other things. I appreciated the fact that the teacher asked us were we bored because she would switch to a new topic. That kept everyone awake and alive. I hope tomarrow is just as fun as today was.
