As a statewide coordinator for a non-formal educational program in STEM we've bought 80 of these books to use with volunteers, teachers and others in our program. It meets the science standards in KY and can be used both outside the school classroom in a non-formal setting (and various delivery methods) as well as in the classroom setting with grades 4th through 8th. The lay out for adult instructor (or even teenage instructors) as well as the youth instructions are simple, concise, material list is easily obtainable for the activity and having all the worksheets and tips are great. We wish we had more materials like this one to use. We've used this at camp for CSI discovery, after-school activities, day camps, or to just introduce a concept in a fun setting for youth...good investment...highly recommended.

Really practical fun ideas for use in science classrooms. I'm a teacher and my kids loved solving the mysteries. These activities are easy to use and very engaging, perfect for summer school programs or enrichment activities.

This is a great resource tool for teachers that want to introduce forensic science and critical thinking skills to their class. It can be adapted to younger kids (Grade 1-3) if needed with very little effort.
