Open case files to page 7 Objective 09/24/12 SW Continue to work to solve the murder mystery, applying life science skills to the crime scene. Jumpstart Can you name all of the organs of the digestive system? (hint: there are 7 total!) • Make a sketch and observations • Of Clue #3: Stab Wound Page 8 Page 12 Page 8
The Liver Case file page: 07
Liver What does the liver do? Makes protein, detoxification, produces chemicals.
Liver Features Three main lobes Connected to the digestive system Second largest organ of the body
Liver Healthy vs. unhealthy Importance to the case: The liver can help CSI investigators determine if a victim was poisoned. Any poison ingested will end up in the liver, causing it to weigh slightly more than normal.
Exploring Clues #2 & 3 (pg. 7-12) • Name the following major organs that make up the human digestive tract and describe their function.

Blood Case File: Page 11
Blood Blood A specialized body fluid designed to carry oxygen.
Blood Made of: • Red blood cells • They transport the O2 • White blood cells • They fight infections • Platelets • They clot your blood when you get a cut
Blood Facts about blood Blood is NOT blue… ever. The average male has 5.2 liters of blood Female: 3.3 L Some animals that drink blood are used to heal major wounds!
Blood Importance to the case: When a victim has been stabbed, blood oozes from the wound CSI investigators can collect this blood and measure its volume, determining when the victim was stabbed!
How much blood has been found? 12 Hours Prior: • At 7:30 pm When Police Arrived: • At 7:30 am • We can determine the time the stabbing occurred based on the amount of blood drained from the body 6 Hours Prior: • At 1:30 am
How YOU can help: • Measure the amount of blood that has been collected from the crime scene Procedures: • Pour both test tubes into a graduated cylinder • Measure the volume of the blood • Record your findings on pg. 12 of your Case File • Determine the approximate time of stabbing
Objective 09/25/12 SW Use temperature skils and metric to determine the time of Miss Betty’s death. Jumpstart Clue # 5: Unknown Hair Sample (magnified 50x) into page 16 of your case file. Clue # 4: Box of Markers Page 14 Page 16
Temperature Case File Page 14
Temperature • What is Temperature? • What do we use to measure Temperature? • A thermometer! • The measure of much energy the molecules of a substance has • *Fun Fact: It is perceived by the body as how “hot” or how “cold” something is!
Temperature • How is temperature measured in the English system? • How is temperature measured in the Metric system? • Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) • DegreesCelsius (°C)
Temperature In Metric: CELSIUS In Standard: Fahrenheit Water freezes at: 32° Water boils at: 212° Human body temp: 98.6° Avg. Outside temp: 77° • Water freezes at: 0° • Water boils at: 100° • Human body temp: 37° • Avg. Outside temp: 25°
Temperature Coldest ever recorded Temperature: • -89 Celsius (-129 F) in Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica July 21, 1983 Hottest ever recorded Temperature: • 58 Celsius (136 F) in Al 'Aziziyah, 1922
Temperature • Importance to the case: • The human body maintains an average temperature of 37°C. • A person’s temperature will change over time after death, and the overall change can provide CSI investigators a time frame for when the person died.
Temperature • Normal Body Temperature = 37° C • What we know: • Normal Body Temperature is37° C • Body temperature remains constant foraround 1 hour after death • Every hour after that, a person’s body temperature drops 1.5° C 45° C 42° C 39° C 36° C 33° C 30° C 27° C 24° C 21° C 18° C 15° C 12° C 9° C 6° C 3° C 0° C
Temperature • What we know: • Police measured Miss Betty’s body temperature at 7:30 am • Miss Betty’s Body Temperature = 19° C • Miss Betty’s Temperature = 19° C 45° C 42° C 39° C 36° C 33° C 30° C 27° C 24° C 21° C 18° C 15° C 12 11 12° C 1 9° C 10 2 6° C 3° C 9 3 0° C 4 8 ACC: What formula can we use to represent this data? 7 5 6
Temperature • What we can calculate: 45° C 42° C 12 39° C 11 1 36° C 10 2 33° C ? 30° C 9 3 28 7 27° C 24° C 4 8 26.5 37 1 8 21° C 18° C 7 5 2 35.5 9 25 6 15° C 12° C 10 23.5 3 34 9° C 6° C 32.5 4 11 21 3° C 5 31 12 20.5 0° C 6 29.5 13 19 What time would be 13 hours before 7:30 am?
Temperature • What this tells us: • Miss Betty had been deceased for 13 hours prior to Police arriving • Miss Betty actually died at 6:30 pm • This time is BEFORE the time she was stabbed, meaning she was poisoned, THEN stabbed! (Remember, she was stabbed between 7-8 pm!) 45° C 42° C 39° C 36° C 33° C 30° C 12 27° C 11 1 24° C 10 21° C 2 18° C 9 3 15° C 12° C 4 9° C 8 6° C 7 5 3° C 6 0° C 6:30 pm!
Temperature • What can we infer? • Miss Betty was poisoned, THEN stabbed! • What could the poison be???
