1. Which direction does the pointed end of a blood droplet always point?
2. How do you determine 2-D convergence of blood spatter?
3. Find the picture on your poster for the hammer and the sponge. Draw a 2_D convergence pattern on
the poster.
4. What is the formula to determine the angle of impact of blood spatter?
5. What is the angle of impact of each of these spatter droplets? (show your work)
A.

6. How do you determine 3-D convergence of blood spatter?
7. Complete the chart on the back of this paper. Use the Power Point to help find your definitions and
pictures.
8. Create a half-sheet vocabulary poster. I will give you (and a partner) a term from the list below. You
are responsible for creating a neat and readable vocabulary poster that contains the definition of the
vocabulary and an appropriate picture.
