In this forensic science worksheet, students write an open response to 1 question about hair evidence collected from the crime scene.

For this forensic science worksheet, students write an open response to 3 questions posed about hair evidence in the crime scene. They explain where and why the samples are most likely found.

How exactly does a crime scene investigation work? The resource, a unit on criminology, covers everything from the deductive reasoning skills needed for detectives to DNA fingerprinting, all the way to how to gather evidence and bring...

Drugs interact with the brain to alter moods, emotions, and behaviors by changing the brain's chemistry, perceptions, and interactions. The final lesson in the Pharmacology unit shows scholars experiments, has them complete four labs,...

Scientists identify elements by the color of flame they produce because each element is defined by exactly one line on the emission spectrum. By completing a series of puzzles, scholars reinforce their knowledge of the results of flame...

A covalent bond yells at an ionic bond, "Didn't anyone teach you to share?" Four matching puzzles allow pupils to review covalent, ionic, and metallic bonding. They apply logic and problem solving to complete gridlocks including the...

Students, in teams, solve a crime using forensic lab techniques. They apply lab techniques to a real life situation using a crime scenario that takes place on campus. Sample activities include Blood, Fiber, and Hair Lab.

Students use DNA to solve an identity mystery. In this biology instructional activity, students use the Internet to gather information about sex-linked disorders and complete a Punnett square for hemophilia, then examine a handwriting...

Students perform tests in the lab to identify an unknown substance. In this physical science lesson plan, students observe the physical and chemical properties of substances. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental results.

Learners solve a crime mystery using chemical tests. They review the crime scenario and then become familiar with the procedure and results for two tests used to identify unknown powders. They perform the tests on the crime samples and...

Students prepare study, and graph fingerprint patterns. They create latent fingerprints and look for common features in their prints for classification.In addition, they create a graph showing the distribution of different patterns...

Middle schoolers create a model of DNA and relate it to the differences between individual people in their nitrogen base sequences. They analyze a crime scenario in which they perform several different types of tests.

Students examine the world of forensic science, focusing on fingerprint analysis. In the lesson, they implement a method by which fingerprints of class members are categorized and identified. Elementary students study classification...

In this forensic science worksheet, students examine and identify the fingerprint pattern of 12 fingerprint samples. They classify them as arch, whorl or loop.

Middle schoolers analyze spectrums as related to forensics. In this chemistry lesson plan, students define spectroscopy and discuss its use in chemistry. They discuss how the Forensic Paint Chip is used to help solve crimes.

Students explore how forensic science is used in criminal investigations. They learn that for the next few days that are going to try to solve a crime that took place in the classroom. Students are given a story to read about the crime...

Students discover advances in biomedical technology such as transdermal delivery and other non-invasive procedures. In lab activities, they examine how medication is given and how molecules travel, observe electrophoresis, and conduct...

Students distinguish between diffusion and osmosis and describe ways that drugs can be administered.  In this diffusion lesson students research career paths and create a presentation to give to the class. 

Students explore the uniqueness of each person's individual body. They identify traits and characteristics of the human body, with a main focus on the uniqueness of fingerprints and footprints. Students examine and compare fingerprints....

In this murder and a meal worksheet, students read the given scenario and determine a procedure to test each organic macromolecule stated in the reading. Students write out the procedure for testing. Students complete a chart that...

Students observe their fingerprints and notice how all human bodies are different. In this fingerprints lesson plan, students see the loops, whorls, and arches that make everyone's fingerprints different, and make a class graph for which...

It may be gruesome but somebody's got to do it! Young forensic scientists get a feel for what the job entails as they study blood spatter in seven experimental activites. They examine how spatter can be changed by release height,...

Students investigate the applications of DNA fingerprinting, They read crime scenarios and using the details of the crime and laboratory experimentation decide the suspects guilt or innocence.

Students explore how archaeologist examine mummies. In this research based lesson, students work in groups to research two mummies and report their findings to the class through role-playing and using a model of the mummy.
