Events at Cache High School
Cache High School students literally received a taste of being a Forensic Scientist in May 2003. Approximately 70 students participated in the Carolina Biological's "Caught By a Kiss" experiment. The students were gathered in groups of 3-4, and tested 5 different pieces of evidence to determine which piece had traces of saliva. The students thoroughly enjoyed this activity!
