Detective's Casebook Lab

Your students will become junior detectives, honing their crime-solving skills by investigating the mysteries surrounding a fictitious crime scenario.  They'll be challenged to conduct a series of forensic analysis activities to determine if a crime has been committed and the identity of the suspect.  To solve the mystery, they'll perform hands-on toxicology testing; chromatography; fingerprinting; document analysis; and simulated blood typing.  They'll also learn how each of these processes can be used to support their final conclusion as to whether a crime was committed and "whodunit"!

Your students will:

• Understand and implement the scientific method
• Practice problem-solving skills through forensics
• Perform various forensic analyses
