All classes use traditional textbooks that are commonly used in public school classrooms. They are not the newest editions and so can be purchased "used" for very reasonable prices.
As you search for these textbooks you may find study guides and other supplemental materials that accompany these texts. Although they may be helpful, they are not required for the course.

I will most likely have some students wanting to sell their textbooks at the end of the 2011-12 school year. I will post a list of those books as we get closer to the end of the year.

*This course was not taught in 2011-12 so no textbooks will be available from other students. This is one of only two texts on Forensic Science written at an appropriate level for high school students. There are not that many used copies available, so the cost will be higher than the other science textbooks. Search the internet for the best deal on a used copy.
