Assignment directions:
Part 1: In this project, you will be introduced to Professor Lee Goff, a forensic entomologist, in his office at Chaminade University in Honolulu, Hawaii. As you read his interview at pbs.org, take note of the tools he uses in his work as well as his perspective on the role he plays in solving crimes and working with law enforcement investigators, other forensic scientists, and the families of victims.

After you have developed a strong familiarity with the work of a forensic entomologist, read the case file about insects here: pbs.org.

Make sure to take notes so you can answer the questions in Part 2.

Before you begin, take a look at the following Forensic Entomology Data Form to familiarize yourself with some of the information that needs to be collected. You will not find all of this information in the case file you read, but it’s important to be familiar with the data that needs to be collected.

As you read, collect as many details as possible from the Case Files to answer the questions for part 2
