Carolina Forensic Science - Real World Applications of Math and Science.

Our forensics materials provide a novel approach to teaching your students the "real world" applications of science and math. With popular television shows featuring forensic science investigations and mysteries, teachers find that offering forensic science courses works as the "carrot" that leads students through the usual math and science topics.

Carolina's forensic science resources will keep your students motivated and learning.

Why Forensics?
Forensic science is broadly defined as the application of science to criminal investigations or problem solving. By incorporating a problem-solving approach to science education, teachers are engaging students in exciting and innovative ways. Our forensics materials provide a novel approach to teaching your students the "real-world" applications of science and math.

A forensics approach:

Focuses on concepts and skills already emphasized in the science classroom
Creates a bridge between science and real-life application
Allows students to become investigators and engage in a science-as-inquiry approach
Places emphasis on cooperative learning and the relationship between evidence and explanations

Forensic investigators collect samples of substances they cannot identify on site and send them to the forensic laboratory for analysis.

In this activity, your students become forensic investigators as they use their observational skills, senses, and chemical tests on a series of known substances as well as 2 unknown substances. Then they attempt to identify the unknowns based upon their observations and recorded data.

Materials are sufficient for 15 groups of students. Includes teacher’s manual and student guide copy masters.
