Detective's Casebook - Student Laboratory Kit

By: The Flinn Staff


Your students will become great detectives as they test their forensic science skills while investigating and solving a simulated crime! Students conduct four types of forensic tests to solve the case of Bobby Bedhead's missing prize-winning pooch, Priscilla. Tests conducted include:

• Blood Analysis-students determine the ABO blood types of five different suspects.
• Chromatographic Ink Analysis-students perform chromatography techniques of suspected ink used at the crime.
• Handwriting Analysis-students examine and identify variations in five handwriting samples and match them to a document left at the crime scene.
• Fingerprint Analysis-students learn the uniqueness of fingerprints and how they may be used to “crack the case.”

Students use all of their results to build a case and convict the culprit!

Complete for 30 students working in groups of two.
