Questions for Forensic Science:
1. What are fibers and where are they found? How could forensic scientists use fibers to solve a crime?
2. Define the word probative. What is the probative value of your group’s unknown fiber identities, for a forensic investigation?
3. Assuming your tests were performed correctly and you obtained accurate results, how can you explain if your analysis of the unknown fiber yields results that either do not match the results for your 6 standards or match results for multiple standards?

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
