Forensic Science
Explore how Fuhua Secondary's Forensic Science ALP links classroom learning to real-world crime investigation. Students build analytical skills through hands-on experiments, from core forensic techniques to specialist electives.
Applied Learning Programme (ALP)
Aim
To enable Fuhuanites to connect academic knowledge with the real world through experiential learning
To build their analytical skills through the scientific method
Approach
The ALP curriculum will be organised and designed around 4 key learning experiences:
Engagement - students to consider what evidence is present.
Exploration - students research and learn about a self-determined aspect of the topic.
Experimentation – students conduct experiments, collect data and interpret findings.
Evaluation and iteration - students to relate findings and data to the crime.
Programme Structure
Core Programme
All lower secondary students undergo a one-year programme which focuses on inculcating scientific thinking skills through the delivery of lessons built on teaching various forensic techniques used in crime scene investigation. All lessons are designed to include hands-on activities that engage the students and promote scientific thinking.
Elective Programme
Modules on specialised forensic techniques (e.g. digital forensics) are offered to selected students with a deep interest in forensic science for them to acquire knowledge and skills beyond the Core Programmme.
