My Project

The forensic items that are being asked for will help our students understand the science behind forensics. We will be starting a forensics class at our school next year and these items will help us get our students started.

Forensic kits will be used in the classroom to enhance student use of microscopes, analysis tools and basic scientific knowledge in a new and different way than what they see in their typical science class.

The items in the forensic kits will allow students to use science to determine how ink, fingerprints, hair, blood analysis, and DNA (just to name a few) are used to help solve crimes. Please help us in challenging our students to become better scientists!
