Product Details

Imagine being a detective, sifting carefully through a crime scene, hoping to find any evidence that will link a suspect to the scene. A single thread from the perpetrator’s clothing can be enough to do the trick! Students perform burn and microscopy analysis on six known fiber types and compare their results to the fiber found at the crime scene. But that’s not all! Once the evidence fiber is identified, students determine if it matches a garment disposed of across town by a suspicious-looking man—bringing them one step closer to determining the identity of the criminal in the Flinn Forensic Files Series!

Complete for 30 students working in pairs
