Turn your students into super sleuths with the 68 exciting lessons and labs in this unique resource! All provide complete teacher background information and reproducible worksheets that challenge students to observe carefully, think critically, conduct lab tests, document results, and try to meet the burden of proof to solve crimes ranging from check forgery to murder.

For ease of use, the labs are organized into 4 sections that will:
• Reinforce skills of observation, experimentation and logical thinking
• Help students identify unknown substances, recognize patterns and determine the chain of events
• Teach principles of inheritance, DNA analysis and skeletal structure
• Demonstrate how reconstruction of past events can influence the outcome of a criminal investigation
