Sized for Viewing Throughout the Class
Simulate Bullet Holes for Trajectory Determinations Follow the path of a bullet from weapon to victim or surface using the components of this ballistics set.
Analyze human bone, artifacts, and rocks. In this forensic science activity, students will apply hands-on forensic techniques to analyze a scenario involving multiple lines of anthropological, archaeological, and geological evidence from human bone replicas, artifact photos, and rocks.
• Grades 9-12 • Real World Case Based Scenario • Estimated class/lab time required: 180 minutes over 4 days
Students use observational and analytical skills to find out “Whodunit.” A crime has been committed at 323 Maple Street, and your class is the team of investigators assigned to find out where the crime took place, if the criminal acted alone, and even the type of clothing worn by each suspect.
• Grades 6-12 • Real World Case Based Scenario • Combination of 6 Activities
What Is It Like to Analyze a Crime Scene? This lab addresses several different approaches for conducting a crime scene investigation. Its scenario-based activity allows students to become detectives and determine “”whodunit”” while using Ward’s® completely safe Simulated Blood.
• NGSS Life Science DCIs LS1, LS3 • Pre and post-laboratory assessments • Links to real world concepts • Estimated class/lab time required: 45 minutes over 1 day
Release Powder Easily, Even Overhead A favorite among teachers and students, this ergonomically-designed magnetic applicator has a powerful magnet to hold a large amount of magnetic powder.
