Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)

Description
Take the study of science into the real world with this hands-on kit that applies biology and chemistry to solve a mock crime (robbery). Beginning with an introduction to forensic science, the Activity Manual provides a case to solve, seven crime scene projects, and materials to complete the tests and solve the case. The seven projects cover foundational forensic principles including fingerprinting, chromatography, blood type analysis and fiber analysis. Students will dust and fume fingerprints to identify suspects, analyze ink using chromatography, determine blood types using mock blood, and analyze fibers. Along with the Activity Manual, you receive chemical safety information, fingerprint dusting powder, black optics cleaning blower brush, plain glass slides (12), superglue, 250 ml polypropylene beaker, isopropyl alcohol (90%), filter paper, watch glass, fabric samples, synthetic blood samples, double lens magnifying glass (5x/10x), 125 ml. plastic jar, disposable pipet, wooden splints, stainless steel forceps, small binder clip, and manila envelope with classified information (instructions and solution for helper). With enough materials to perform each test more than once, there is an opportunity to create other mock crimes to be solved. A microscope (40x magnification) is recommended for one activity. Provides an excellent opportunity to introduce forensic science to children, and may inspire a future career or simply engage a student who feels there is no practical reason to study science! ~Deanne
