Types of Samples We Will be Analyzing:
Include fuels, plastics, rubber, leather, paper, biologicals ||  || Inorganic Compounds Include metals and other elements salts, chalk, paint ||  || Biological Molecules --DNA is the material in all of our cells containing the code which determines our traits ||
 * Organic Compounds
 * Soils --Can be tested for physical properties, and chemical properties such as pH and conductivity to determine possible sources of the soil ||  || Fingerprints --Contain patterns which are unique to each individual and which can be used to place people at certain places. ||   || Biological Samples --Hair has many unique characteristics depending on its source, including trace amounts of elements, which can be used to determine where the hair came from. ||
