Re: Forensics C
There is a webiste linked to on soinc.org: http://sciencekit.com/science-olympiad- ... IG0054843/
It sells the chemical kits with all types of hair (including 1 bat hair), but it's rather pricy.

Re: Forensics C
Instead of going about getting expensive kits you could just search pictures on google. They're really hard to find, but all of the different hairs and fibers should have certain distinguishing characteristics that make them identifiable.computergeek3 wrote:How would one go about obtaining bat hair?

Re: Forensics C
By the way, how much of the tests are usually theory? I tried a practice test and they asked all these vocabulary questions about different types of evidence and the investigation process...

Re: Forensics C
None of the high-level tests should be about theory at all, maybe a question or two (but still less than 5% of the total points.)

Re: Forensics C
I will be uploading my powders flowchart to the wiki once the season is over. Everything there should be accurate, and it works with decent efficiency. Hopefully this will help some people out.

Re: Forensics C
Hello, all! I did Crime Busters this year, and although I failed miserably, I have an idea of what that event is like. .-. What else is going to be added to that in this event?

Re: Forensics C
I agree. Although there are no more metals or liquids, there are a lot of significantly different powders, plus mass spectra, and a lot of other physical evidence areas....lmatkovic3 wrote:It's a huge change.
