Science in action at Morenci High School

by

There was lots of activity in April in Jonathan Boesger’s science classroom at Morenci High School. 

Senior Ava Alcock and junior Katelyn Ruse work on a flame test for a forensics exercise about identifying different types of fibers based on how they burn — a real-world technique used at crime scenes. In this exercise the students tested six known fibers to establish a burn pattern baseline, then compared those results to a mystery fiber from a mock crime scene.
