Festival of the arts science research - Making fake blood (currently doing)

Making fake blood

Aim:

My goal is to find out how to make fake blood and some information about fake blood. I will then construct my own fake blood for a film I am making for festival of the arts.

Results of my research on fake blood:

Before fake blood was made and used in films people would use chocolate syrup in black and white films.

How I am going to make fake blood:

Equipment:
250ml beakers
Gauze mat
Tripod
Bunsen burner
Heat mat
Measuring cylinder
200ml sprite
5ml red food colouring
1t (teaspoon) coco powder

What is bullying?

What is bullying?

Bullying in general: All type of bullying involves hidden bullying, visible bullying, its deliberate, involves a power control, its harmful and is repeated many times. For something to be counted as bullying it needs to be intentional and happen multiple times even when u tell them to stop or show them your upset 

Physical bullying: Physical bullying is bullying in the physical world.

How does Blood pattern analysis (BPA) help the forensic scientist solve crimes?

Locard's Princible

In the early 20th century Dr.Edmond Locard made a theory that every contact leaves a trace its called forensic science. Locard thought that every time you touch something you would leave a print. For example if you touch something like a table with your finger or feet (For whatever reason) you will leave a finger print or if you use your feet a foot print. When police are searching in a crime scene they look for everything that could relate to the criminal. If you leave anything like your gloves shoes, socks and even false teeth and you are likely about to be found. Here are a few more things that criminals could leave behind that police use.

• hair
• tools 
• clothing
• licence plate
• fingernails
• DNA
• bullets

Who collects the evidence?
Forensic technician
