Crime Scene: A Forensic Investigation Kit
Bring the mystery and intrigue of an actual murder case to your classroom with Crime Scene: A Forensic Investigation Kit. Here’s a chance to apply chemistry and biology laboratory skills to a real-life criminal investigation. Students perform hair, blood, fiber, fingerprint and handwriting analysis to locate the culprit in the “murder” case. All blood samples are simulated. Students read background mate- rial, crime scene descriptions, motives and a victim’s note. Students use higher level thinking skills to piece together the written information with lab results and form a logical conclusion of the most likely of six possible suspects. The activity is culminated with a narrative labora- tory case report that promotes writing across the curriculum. Students get so involved in solving the crime that they may forget they are learning science.
The kit provides hair, fiber and simulated blood samples, anti-serums, slides, marking crayons, pipets and stirrers. Includes a booklet with teacher notes and reproducible student masters.
Complete for two classes of 24 students working in pairs.
Detective’s Casebook—
Forensic Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Your students will become great detectives as they test their foren- sic 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 pairs.
Mr. Mathematics Mysterious Murder—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Matthew Mathematics, the math teacher at Mammals Middle School, was mysteriously murdered on Monday morning. When the body was discovered, the police were called and the crime scene investigation team was sent. Explore the fascinating science of criminal investiga- tions with this scenario-based lab. Students gather evidence at the simulated crime scene and return to the “Forensics Lab” to analyze the evidence. Forensic tests include fiber analysis, shoeprints, blood, stom- ach contents, and fingerprints. After analyzing all the evidence, identify the cause of death and identify the suspect. Kit includes reproducible student handouts, detailed background information, complete instructor notes with sample data and answers to all questions, and all chemicals and consumables supplies needed to perform the labs.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Microscopes are needed for fiber analysis.
