Can you identify an unknown liquid or powder? What secrets become visible under a UV light? How do you analyze fingerprints, soil, ink, and handwriting samples?
Students assume the role of forensic scientists and perform experiments on evidence in this large laboratory station using chemical and physical techniques. They will analyze solids and liquids, test for pH, make a fluorescent solution, inspect invisible ink, discover hidden secrets with the UV flashlight, lift fingerprints, look for counterfeit bills, and examine ink using chromatography. The experiments are accompanied by exciting stories of make-believe mysteries and crimes to solve. Plastic hold equipment or notes for hands-free access.
