CRIME SCENE

This kit takes students through six exercises using reasoning, common sense,
math skills, biology, and chemistry to identify a crime scene: Scene Mapping,
Hair Analysis, Soil Analysis, Rope Analysis, Analysis of Crime Scene Trash, and
Interpretation of Police Evidence. When suspects and victims enter and/or leave
a crime scene they bring with them and carry away useful pieces of evidence.
Students learn to conduct a proper search, like real crime scene technicians, to
avoid destroying evidence. They also learn to properly gather and document
evidence and make factual interpretations of a crime scene. Required, but
not included: microscopes, graduated cylinders, test tubes, rulers, markers,
notebook paper, white paper, and water. Designed for 24 students working in
six groups of four. Meets national standards for grades 5-8.
