About this title

Synopsis

Trace evidence is often the most important evidence involved in a crime. Analyze bones and blood spatter patterns, find out if bullets came from a suspect’s gun, and more! Many experiments include ideas you can use for your science fair, using the scientific method, and each chapter ends with a crime for you to solve.

Reviews

Grade 4–6—In each book, an introduction includes an overview of the scientific method and safety guidelines; five reproducible experiments; and several supplementary ideas to test. Most of the projects use common household items. In Bones, for example, the recipe for "blood" calls for warm water, red food coloring, and sugar to thicken it. Readers may test how angles affect the spatter pattern of blood. When an experiment uses chemicals, "an adult" is listed under "things you will need." Steps are precisely numbered, and "Who Dunnit?" scenarios are posed for practical application. Brief biographies and factual asides are sprinkled throughout. Sections are distinguished by brightly colored borders. These books are more accessible for beginners and half the size of the "Forensic Science Projects" series (Enslow), and contain more visuals.—Lori A.
