DESCRIPTION
Kids become crime scene investigators with this hands-on crime scene kit! Using the materials inside, students get to use real lab experiments and fingerprinting to solve the case and discover who stole the diamonds. This complete one-box evidence collection kit has everything kids need for authentic crime scene investigation tests, including a step-by-step experiment manual and case file.
This Crime Scene Kit Includes:
- Glass slides and superglue for fingerprint fuming
- Beaker, isopropyl alcohol, and filter paper for chromatography ink tests
- Watch glass and fabric samples for fiber analysis
- Synthetic blood samples for simulated blood test
- Magnifying glass
- Complete activity/case manual
With this crime scene kit, kids will learn how science helps solve mysteries. First, meet four suspects and read their police statements. Do any of the suspects have a clear motive? What about an alibi? Next, students examine the evidence found at the crime scene. They can read scientific explanations for each activity and follow the instruction manual/case file with helpful charts.
Study Crime Scene Evidence:
- latent prints
- clothing fibers
- a note
- bloodstain (simulated)
Real test results of the evidence reveal the culprit. Kids gain an understanding of CSI theory by reading the manual. Then they apply that in a practical situation as they test the evidence.
Conduct 7 crime lab tests with this best-selling crime scene & fingerprint kit:
- dusting & fuming for fingerprints (print lifting)
- fingerprinting analysis
- chromatography & ink analysis
- blood type analysis (using simulated blood samples)
- fiber analysis using a flame test
Working through the manual and seven crime science projects takes 1-2 hours. There are enough materials to perform each test more than once. This crime scene kit works for 1-4 students working in a group. For larger classes, see the Crime Scene Science Classroom Kit.
Forensics (or forensic science) refers to the scientific tests (chemistry) and procedures used by detectives and law enforcement to solve a crime.
