Forensic Science - Episode 304



One kind of forensic analysis involves splashes and splatters. Do your own splatter analysis
with water balloons. Fill up some water balloons, then throw them at a dry paved surface,
like a driveway or playground, from different heights and angles. Draw the splash patterns
each balloon makes. Then have a friend throw a balloon without you watching. Analyze the
new pattern, compare it to your reference patterns, and try to figure out how this splatter
was made. Go to Be On DFTV and tell us what happened!
