Blood Splatter Lab
Blood Splatter Analysis Lab
Independent Variable & Dependent Variable:
Independent: Blood Spatter
Dependent: Diameter (size of blood splatter)
Problem Statement:
What height did the blood at the crime science fell from
Hypothesis:
Anna Garcia might have tripped which caused her blood stain to reach the maximum height of the stool, which means her blood splatter fell lower than her height.
Materials:
Gloves
Eye Droppers with blood
Journal
Yard Stick
Clear ruler
Blank piece of paper
Graph
Procedures:
1. Put on Gloves
2. When your teacher allows you to grab the simulated blood, shake the bottle lightly, and find a place to work.
3. Start at a height of 20cm on your yard stick, and drop the blood to the white piece of paper
4. Measure the diameter of the blood splatter with your small, clear ruler and measure in inches, then convert inches into Millimeters, once you have it in Millimeters, record it into your graph paper.
5. Next measure at a height of 40cm on your yard stick, and drop the blood to the paper
6. Once again, measure the diameter of the blood splatter with your ruler and measure in inches, then convert inches into Millimeters, once you have it in Millimeters; record it into your graph paper
7. Repeat steps 3-4 (60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160) until you reached Anna’s height which was 163cm (162.56cm) and measure the diameter in inches into Millimeters and record it onto your graph.
8. Measure the diameter, then convert cm into Millimeters
9. Once you’re finished, do a hypothesis, on what might have happened to Anna and at what height was she in when she died, find the dependent and independent variable, do a summary, and a conclusion, to explain what you and your partner did and what were your results.
Conclusion:
By collecting evidence in Anna Garcia’s crime scene, she fell at the height of the stool, which is where her blood marked.
Summary:
In the experiment, it concluded that Anna might have tripped,

    For the measurement below carefully read the ruler to the best degree of accuracy. The reading you make in centimeters should have two decimals. In other words can you estimate the difference between 10.1 cm and 10.2 cm? If so, you would report 10.10 cm or 10.15 cm whichever your eyes see. If you see 10 cm, than you would report 10.00 cm. The mm reading may be estimated to +/- 0.1 mm. Refer to the lab for more information. You can obtain an accurate ruler from the web, if you don’t have one.…

    Blood Spatter

    Blood differs from water in that it is a less viscous liquid. The teardrop that is formed by rain is not formed by blood falling at an equal pace. As a result blood tends to hold the shape of a sphere throughout its flight path. Sobriety of the victim will have no significant effect on how bloodstain patterns are produced(wwwbrazoriacounty.com). By blood holding a generally geometric form the angle of impact (AOI), and eventually the point of origin (POO) can de determined. To determine the angle of impact, assuming the drop is contacting a flat surface, simply measure the width of the stain on the ground. This width will equal the diameter of the droplet in the air. The width will be equal to the short side of a right triangle. This triangle can be placed over the spatter and the angle at which the droplet traveled will be inline with the angle of the triangle(James & Eckhart, 1999). This can be recreated on a scientific calculator with the TAN option.…

    Bloodstain pattern analysis is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. Blood spatter analysis can tell the distance from the source of the blood to the pattern, the direction from which the blood impacted, the speed the droplet was traveling, the location of the point of origin, and even the movement of a bleeding individual throughout the scene. There are three basic types of bloodstains. The first type of bloodstains are passive stains which include drops, flows, and pools.…

    Essay On Blood Spatter

    • 1950 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Blood spatter is the way blood is splashed on a surface of any kind. You may think this is a new technique but blood spatter analysis has been around since 1895 when Edward Piotrowski from the University of Krakow wrote a document on the direction of blood spatter. It has been around for years and helps criminal investigators on brutal crime cases. Now the general blood spatter ways are the Single Drop, Transfer Bloodstains, Impact Spatter, Cast off Stain, Projected Pattern/Arterial Damage Stain, Pool Stains, Insect Stains, and Expiration Stains. The Single Drop blood stains usually falls vertically even if it’s from a person or objects and lands on a surface. As the drop of blood falls it remains in a circular shape until impact. Another way of blood spatter is the Transfer Blood Stain which occurs when blood off a surface ends up on another surface. Studies of this type of blood stain can establish the events at the crime scene such as tracings and movements of a person or object and fresh blood making the blood form into small drops and, the stronger the impact the more smaller the droplets are. Then again the cast off stain happens when a centrifugal force makes blood drop go onto another surface in a certain motion. For example blood off a knife getting flung onto a wall. A Projected Pattern/Arterial Damage blood stains are basically when the blood comes out of a punctured artery and lands on a…
