CSI Crime Lab: Classroom Edition

Participants use their observation skills, communication skills, and reasoning skills to perform forensic tests and solve a crime. This series of activities provides a first-hand (but scaled-down) introduction to careers in Forensic Science. The various labs can be done as stand-alone activities, or the full series can be accomplished in a few hours or even a few days. Each one can also be adapted to suit different age groups. Think of this as a highly detailed blueprint---you have the complete structure mapped out, but there's plenty of room for your personal touch.
