Sherlock Holmes and Tires at the ALC?

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

Edmond Locard was known as the Sherlock Holmes of France. 

He formulated the basic principle of forensic science "Every contact leaves a trace" 

Students in the Medical Forensic class at the ALC tested to see if this was true.  Students brought to class a shirt they had worn the day before.  They then took packing tape and picked up what they could off their shirts.  Students then looked at what they had picked up the day before under the microscope. 

Students were amazed at what they picked up in a day.  Students also looked at ballistic evidence, lip prints, compared sand and rocks, and glass and plastic as well as matching tire prints. 

It was a good day to look at trace evidence.

Microscopes, Bugs, Fun

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

 

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye.   

In Medical Forensics students learned how to use microscopes to see things we cannot see with the human eye. 

Students collected a bug of some sort and looked at the legs, eyes, wings, and many other bug body parts. 

Learning how to use the microscope was fun and interesting.

Flying High

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

On Wednesday, 7 September, the UAS flew their first paper airplane drones in class. 

After watching a PowerUp drone video, they built their own paper airplanes and as crews of 3 fitted, flew, and observed the drones. 

Their inaugural test flights were successful.

The student's had fun using trial and error to figure out the best way to build their airplanes, so that they could have the best flight time in the air.

 It was fun seeing them learn and seeing them try to beat the other teams.

 It was a great hands' on activity. Thank you Ms. Olsen for always engaging your student's in learning.

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

In answer to a student's question, " Do teacher's ever eat lunch?"... The answer is , " YES!"

The faculty and staff had their first potluck luncheon last week and it turned out great.

 There is always lots of laughter and great conversations that take place during these scheduled lunch times.

We are so grateful for the faculty and staff we have here at the ALC, and for all that they do to help the students here be the best that they can possibly be.

Guest Speaker Visits Aviation

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

On Friday, Mr. David Newell came to speak to the ALC's Unmanned Aerial Systems class.

Mr. Newell works for Verizon and started Verizon's UAS division several years ago. 

He talked to the students about current and future UAS technology and the opportunities the students will have in the future.  

He had many exciting stories to tell and was a great resource of knowledge to those students looking for the wide range of options in the Aviation field.

 Thank you for taking time to come and speak to our students, Mr. Newell
