Forensic Science, Kids Activity Kit

Children can learn techniques that real scientists use everyday to solve crimes!

Cast shoe prints, extract DNA, analyse inks and create a fingerprint database.

Forensic Science kit is written by qualified scientists and explores the techniques that scientists use everyday to solve crimes! Take plaster casts of shoe prints, extract DNA, analyse inks and create a fingerprint database. Everything to be done as a crime scene.

Forensic scientists collect evidence and preserve the integrity of the evidence so that it is admissible in court. With this kit our future scientists will be introduced to this fascinating world and gain valuable insights into scientific procedures. And have fun!

List of experiments:

• Take plaster casts of shoe prints and match pattern evidence to suspects’ shoes
• Create a fingerprint database and learn how to lift and analyse a mystery print
• Extract your own DNA!
• Use chromatography to analyse and identify different inks.
• For more interesting forensic science try the Thames and Kosmos Master Detective Toolkit.
