Forensics

If you’re a fan of crime scene investigation shows, you won’t believe everything you see after completing this module. You will see what reallyhappens when investigators scour a crime scene for evidence and then pass it off it to the scientists who analyze the data in the lab.

Natural Resources and the Environment

In this module we explore some of the technologies used to extract, process, and use the natural resources in British Columbia. We also review the need for effective management of resources and the issues related to their impact on the environment. The mountain pine beetle effect is examined.

Personal Technologies

 

We live in a world full of gadgets—computers, cell phones, mp3 players to name a few. In this module we examine these technologies, how they work, their history and their impact on the way we interact with each other.
