Fun Forensic Science Assessments!

My students need 5 forensic crime scene activities, including evidence tape, a crime scene bundle and 3 crime scenarios.

Ms. T.
Grades 9-12

I currently teach forensic science, which is being offered for the first time this year. This is an elective course for upperclassmen. The school is a public high school in New York City with a focus on science and the environment. We have a diverse student body (economically, racially, and academically) which can be seen in the forensics classes.

Because this is the first year this course is being offered there are zero supplies. Due to budget cuts throughout the district, there is no money to buy supplies. The students are very excited to be taking the course. In fact the demand was so high that the school had to open an additional section to accommodate all of the interested students. They eagerly await the many laboratory activities that they associate with forensic science (such as fingerprinting, blood typing, and entomology). I have been able to keep them engaged thus far as we are covering basic observation techniques, which do not require many supplies. Going forward, however, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to teach them the various lab procedures and techniques without any equipment.

I have chosen these activity kits because they will provide a fun, interactive way to assess the skills that my students have learned. Each kit contains the materials required to recreate a crime scene, including a murder, a kidnapping, and a drug bust. In analyzing the crime scenes the students will be able to apply the many skills they have learned throughout the course.

With your help, my students can get the true CSI experience! Your support will enable several classes of students to see real world forensic applications and learn that science can be fun! Thank you!
