Review
"Science Sleuths is a great book for the teacher who hopes to engage middle school students in science investigations that build upon high interest topics related to mystery, clues, and intrigue."
—Dr. Gail H. Marshall, Ed. D., Assistant Professor, College of Education, University of West Georgia
"The teacher briefs, notes, prompts, and tantalizing topics make Science Sleuths an invaluable resource. These sixty activities are intriguing and the procedures are easy-to-follow."
—Diane Matthews, Assistant Principal, Fairplay Middle School
"Walker and Wood are addressing the heart of scientific thought, Critical Thinking and Inquiry, by placing it in a format of forensics, a tremendously appealing idea for the targeted age group in grades 4-8." --(Education Review, June 2007)
