This unique resource offers activities in earth, life, and physical
science as well as science inquiry and technology. The Grades 6-12 level
book provides labs on life, physical, and earth science as well as
critical thinking. Like real-life forensic scientists, students observe
carefully, organize, and record data, think critically, and conduct
simple tests to solve crimes like theft, dog-napping, vandalism and
water pollution. For added fun, each resource features an original
cartoon character, Investi Gator for the Elementary level and Crime Cat
for Grades 6-12. All activities include complete background information
with step-by-step procedures for the teacher and reproducible student
worksheets. Whatever the teacher's training or experience in teaching
science, Crime Scene Investigations can be an intriguing supplement to
instruction.
