[0:05] What I really enjoy in
[0:07] forensics is the documentaries
[0:09] we watch, and we learn about all,
[0:11] ballistics and blood spatters
[0:13] and also hair and fibers
[0:14] was also really cool,
[0:15] that I really enjoyed.
[0:16] And we also just do a bunch of
[0:18] labs, and it's super fun.
[0:21] I really liked welding this year.
[0:22] It was one of those new skills
[0:24] that you wouldn't learn anywhere else.
[0:27] And it was a really fun experience.
[0:29] I have been learning about circuits.
[0:32] An open circuit is a circuit that does,
[0:36] is like open.
[0:38] It is not connected to the device.
[0:41] As if, like a charger is connected to the
[0:44] to the outlet,
[0:45] but is not connected to the phone.
[0:47] A closed circuit is when the wire
[0:49] or the circuit
[0:50] is connected to the device,
[0:52] and can be used.
[0:54] We've been working on
[0:56] motorcycles the whole year.
[0:57] Mainly, two of them we're doing
[0:58] the Dennis Kirk
[0:59] bike for them, for the raffle at Sturgis.
[1:03] And then we've been working
[1:04] on one of his bikes
[1:05] that we were getting ready
[1:05] for the Donnie Smith Show.
[1:07] And we've been doing
[1:08] a lot of different work with those.
[1:09] We built this bike from the ground up,
[1:11] the Dennis Kirk bike. And then his bike,
[1:13] we've been doing a lot of adjustments
[1:14] to make it look nice
[1:15] and just get it ready to ride.
[1:18] And then, last year
[1:20] we were both on the Rat Rod Build Off
[1:22] team for Northern Tool and Equipment,
[1:25] with Richard Petty and Billy Lane.
[1:27] We've been learning
[1:27] about density
[1:29] and finding formulas for it.
[1:30] And we're just getting into acids
[1:32] and bases.
[1:33] We did a lab where we
[1:35] fill different amounts
[1:36] of salt into water and have them float
[1:39] to make a rainbow.
[1:40] So that was kind of cool.
[1:41] We've been learning about Ozobots.
[1:44] What I've learned about them is that they
[1:46] follow lines and
[1:49] they can go on color codes.
[1:52] We actually did
[1:54] a lot of stuff with fabrics.
[1:56] Like acrylic, satin, polyester.
[1:59] And we would look to try to identify
[2:01] the types of weave patterns
[2:02] which can fit in
[2:03] with forensics and crime
[2:04] scenes, to identify
[2:06] where people purchase
[2:07] fabrics or what type of fabrics
[2:08] they’re wearing.
[2:09] Some of my favorite units
[2:10] were the ballistics,
[2:11] so you can
[2:12] see the trajectory of the bullets
[2:14] and like, also blood.
[2:15] We learned about
[2:16] the different types of blood
[2:17] and how to identify them
[2:19] and different tests that they use.
