Last week, my son and some other homeschoolers went to the Museum of Science and Industry for a crime scene learning lab.
The kids used forensic science techniques to solve the “who stole the lightbender?” crime.
E’s group used chromatography to help them decide who they thought the perpetrator was.
Other groups used fingerprint analysis, white powder analysis and trace evidence analysis. The kids got to use microscopes (which was E’s favorite part) and later everyone used foot impression analysis.
They all had such a good time!
