This book is an excellent way to add excitment to science classes. Students get to use hands-on activities to solve various "crimes." The book is well written and easy to follow. It is good for various grade levels. (I use it in 8th grade Physical Science Class as part of an Events Based Science Curriculum. I recommend it highly

I was introduced to 'Crime Scene Investigations' while attending a teaching workshop. I ordered it right away for my high school level Criminal Justice class. It is full of experiments which apply to virtually every unit my class covers. With the help of the book, I have set up a classroom Crime Lab, of which I am quite proud. We are able to perform an astounding number of experiments, and the lab causes quite a stir with our visitors.

As a retired police officer, I am very aware of the validity of the lessons presented in 'Crime Scene' and feel they would be of value to any of my students who decide on a career in Law Enforcement.

I bought this book to use with my criminal justice class. It contains many simple science experiments which add a lot to the crime scene processing and investigative parts of my class. In addition, it provides short 'whodunnits' which add interest and excitement to the science.
