SAN BERNARDINO - Some 70 students from Apple Valley and Yucaipa high schools will work with the San Bernardino County Sheriff Department's Scientific Investigations Unit to do a field study on blood pattern interpretation on Jan. 23.

The purpose of the event is to demonstrate real-world applications for trigonometry. The demonstration is made in partnership between the County Sheriff's office and County Superintendent of Schools' Alliance for Education program.

The Alliance for Education partners with business, labor, education, government, faith-based and community leaders, who develop and demonstrate authentic applications of math in the workplace to students in the classroom or at business or industry sites.

The Scientific Investigations Unit will lead the demonstration of the field study on Jan. 23 at the County Sheriff headquarters at 655 E. Third St. The media is invited to attend.
