A few jokes for you!
1. What was the biologist wearing on his date with a very beautiful girl?
2. What did the brother cell say to the sister cell when she stepped on his toe?
3. What do you call a worm that ate mozart?4. Girl you must be made of Fluorine, Iodine,
and Neon because you are FINe.

Do you recognize any of them? You will. And more after forensics..
Forensic SciencePrerequisites: ● Successful Completion of Physical Science and Biology. Seniors Only. ● Completion of Chemistry or concurrently enrolled.
Forensic Science is a lecture and practical laboratory course that integrates three major disciplines of science (Physical Science, Biology, and Chemistry) in the study of objects that relate to a crime. Topics are developed to illustrate the impact science has in the legal system. Serious seniors wanted! Go to Mrs. Ancheta’s website for more information.
Human PhysiologyPrerequisites: ● Successful completion
of Biology ● Successful completion
of Chemistry ● Teacher recommendation● Seniors only
