Employ Forensics to Stop a Terrorist PlotYour students can become agents in charge of preventing a terror attack in this real life simulation as they perform tests that have become customary in the fight against terrorist plots.

• Students Apply Science Principles and Relate the Conclusion to a Criminal Investigation• Case-Based Scenario

Collect Evidence like the ExpertsGather forensic evidence like a pro with these kits of basic materials and equipment. Lead your class in a series of crime scene simulations and ensure proper collection and documentation techniques by providing high quality supplies.

• Necessary Supplies for Investigations In One Comprehensive Package• Replacements Available• Equipment only (does not include activities)

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

Are lip prints like finger prints?Someone has been mailing anonymous love letters to the captain of the football team and sealing each one with a kiss.
• NGSS Physical Science DCI PS1• Pre and post-laboratory assessments• Links to real world concepts

Use multiple forms of evidence analysis.Poor puppy Plato was dognapped. Now that he is safely back home, it’s time to test the evidence and determine the culprit of the canine caper.

• Test the evidence and determine the culprit• Six different activities

Use Critical Thinking and Literacy Skills to Solve an Exciting Murder MysteryRichard Webster and his crack staff of software developers have locked themselves in a think tank until their ground-breaking computer program “Rosebud” is complete. When the doors finally open Webster’s dead body is discovered, apparently strangled by a mouse cord, and his prized program is erased.

• Activity includes a laminated reference poster with clues and a CD-ROM containing all required print material

You be the detective!This kit addresses several different approaches for conducting a crime scene investigation.
