BALLISTICS ; THE Sacco & VANzetti Case

Can your aspiring ballistics experts determine once and for all whether Sacco and Vanzetti committed this crime Students reconstruct the shootings of
the infamous Sacco and Vanzetti case and calculate projectile trajectories using a map of the gunshot evidence, ballistics blocks, and trajectory rods.
Then, they recreate the crime scene using string and laser techniques. Using inactive dummy cartridges, fired bullets and casings, students learn to
characterize ammunition. They use gunshot residue analysis to determine which suspects fired guns during the crime. Finally, each scenario is presented
with evidence for students to argue their unique case in court. Includes complete instructor’s manual, reproducible ballistics training handbook,
reproducible lab experiments, instructions and documents for holding a mock trial, and six additional extension activities addressing the social and
political issues surrounding the case. Designed for 24 students working in small groups. Recommended: stereo-microscope and a balance. Warning:
Danger, kit contains lasers, avoid eye exposure. Product intentionally contains lead bullets and lead nitrate. Grades 7-12
