Biotech students perform show and tell for family, friends
Students in the biotech
program at Bradford High
School invited family
members and friends to
witness a mock crime
scene and the resulting
forensics work that might
be done to determine a
murder suspect. It was
a chance not only for
students to show off what
they’ve been learning, but
to show off new equipment
that was purchased with
the help of a grant. The
exercise was also a chance
for family members and
friends to help with the
experiments. LEFT: William
