Solve the Case of the Lost Skull!

Help me give my students an end of unit mystery in my forensic science class to solve.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Florio's classroom raised $584

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project would be for my 12th grade forensic science class. I would love to do this project at the end of the unit allowing students to solve a mystery using the skills they have been learning about all year. For example, fingerprints, blood analysis, blood typing, hair and fiber analysis, and document evidence.

This donation will help my students understanding of solving crimes and forensic science, and help them build confidence by using the skills they leaned about in class.

My students are handworkers that will value this opportunity.
