Elementary Forensics

Help me give my students forensic science supplies to learn about crime scene investigations for their fairy tale trials.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Setser's classroom raised $240

This project is fully funded

My Project

4th and 5th grade students will learn basic forensic science to accompany our law unit this semester. They will learn about basic rights under the law and the United States Constitution as well as types of evidence that detectives investigate and explore at police crime scenes.

Students will explore basic fingerprinting and ink chromatography with the supplies in these kits to investigate our own elementary classroom mystery!

This will give students the basic skills needed to develop their own evidence, cases, and trial arguments for their upcoming fairy tale trials.
