Description

Forensic Firearms and Ballistics Evidence in real life! Nova Cold Case JFK is a great one-hour documentary that looks at and tests the ballistics evidence of the Kennedy Assassination. I typically show this to my students after they have learned about Ballistics Evidence.

This forensic firearms resource is a video guide

The student sheet organizes the documentary into sections…

  • The Event: A timeline of what happened
  • Gun and Ammunition: It was unique!
  • The Shooter: Who he was, and what happened to him before he could stand trial, leading the public to believe there was a conspiracy!
  • The Commission: Its purpose and findings.
  • Autopsy: What went wrong.
  • Zapruder Film: Analyzing the film. How many shots were fired? Could the shots be fired that fast by the gun that was used? Were two gunmen involved, or just one?
  • Ballistics Tests: Conducted by Forensic Ballistics experts with the same type of gun and ammunition used in the assassination.
  • Explaining the Head Shot: Kennedy’s head went backwards, how could this have happened if he got hit in the back of the head? A look back at the autopsy photos and reconstructing what happened.

 

Resource includes a FULL ANSWER KEY!

Here are what some Happy Teachers have to say about this JFK Case Study video guide in our Teachers Pay Teachers store:

Great sub activity for my students, they were very interested and the questions were engaging.           – Crystal K.     October 1, 2021

We did this as a “closure” to ballistics. Worked great with in-class and online students.           – Barbara B.         April 27, 2021

My students really liked this resource as an “alternate assignment” they were given while quarantined.               – Savannah H.             May 28, 2021
