Caught By A Kiss

My students need 5 "Caught by a Kiss" classroom kits. Students will act as crime scene technicians to figure out which pieces of evidence from multiple crime scenes contain potentially useful DNA information.

The Next Generation of CSI I teach law enforcement at a career and technical school. All students are either junior or seniors in high school. We give students the opportunity to "learn by doing" with hands-on experiences that will be beneficial to them in the work force.

All of the CSI television shows have increased an interest in the science of forensics. My students have expressed an interest in doing actual lab experiments which would assist them in solving a "crime".

The requested kits will benefit my students by giving them all the materials needed to examine saliva and DNA to solve a crime.

Your help will ensure that my students have the opportunity to start building the foundation of their crime scene investigative skills.
