| Summary |
Solve cases with real forensic science! Children aged 8+ will use chromatography to extract evidence from DNA. Use special indicators to spot dangerous acids and alkalis! Learn how to develop, lift and match fingerprints. Trap thieves with glow-in-the-dark inks and collect suspect shoeprints and compare them to the crime scene footprint cast! Next, reveal secret messages and use cloth fiber analysis to find out who drove the getaway car. As children experiment, they will learn real science and history behind DNA analysis! This crime scene kit includes safe, high-quality ingredients and a full-color education and instruction booklet. Adult supervision is recommended. |
