01 - Left at the Scene of the Crime: Intro to Forensic Science
Related Products FEATURED KIT: DNA Fingerprinting by PCR Amplification For 8 gels. Forensic DNA fingerprinting has become a universally accepted crime-fighting tool. Recent advances use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify human DNA obtained from crime scenes. This experiment, based on a crime scene scenario, has an inquiry-based component. Cat. #130 (Features FlashBlue™ Stain) Cat. #130-S (Features SYBR® Safe DNA Stain) NEW: Forensic Escape Room: Design Your Own Biotech Adventure For 10 groups. Explore the world of forensic science with this fun and exciting crime scene escape room! In this investigation, students decipher clues, solve puzzles, and unravel the evidence to free the innocent. Hands-on techniques include forensic blood detection, blood typing, and DNA fingerprinting. Compre - hensive instructions on how to set up an escape room are included. Cat. #190 Forensics Enhancement Techniques For 10 groups. Trace amounts of blood are often sufficient to identify the individual responsible for any number of crimes, including murder, burglary, or assault. Enhancement procedures can make a small stain of body fluid or tissue visible to the naked eye. In this experiment, students will act as detec- tives following the aftermath of a drug bust involving gang warfare over territory. Reagents that are routinely used as a first screen will be utilized to detect simulated blood and DNA. In addition, biological materials will be recovered from splatters, blood trajectory, and small droplets of simulated human materials. Cat. #194 Forensic Toxicology For 10 groups. In today’s forensic science laboratory, toxicologists identify drugs and toxins in samples collected from crime scenes, victims, and potential suspects. If present, the toxicolo- gist also determines whether the drug or toxin contributed to a person’s behavioral changes or death. In this forensic science experiment, students will use the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to analyze simulated crime scene samples for the presence of drugs. Cat. #195
Whose Fingerprints Were Left Behind? For 10 groups. After a crime has been committed, the evidence left behind can identify a potential culprit, although a single piece of evidence is not usually enough to convict someone. Even in this age of DNA, fingerprints and blood stains are still important at helping to identify a criminal. In this experiment your students will learn to detect and analyze fingerprints and then use these techniques to solve a classroom crime . Cat. #S-91
