CSI Expert!: Forensic Science for Kids (Grades 5-8) 1st Edition

I got the book to get kids interested in science, but some were interested in forensics. They enjoyed the experiments in the book.

I teach informal science programs in a park, and this book is gold! It's got a number of different activities for each section, allowing for both raw beginners and more advanced students to get something beneficial out of the experiments. I have used this for Girl Scout programs, CSI camps, and more. Would love to find more books like this!

Used this to design a series of forensics activities for my daughter's third grade class. The kids loved the activities. My only complaint is that the book isn't very original - the activities can all be found online and in every other forensic science book for kids. Also, there is no DNA related activity so I had to make one up on my own. That said, I prefer this book because the layout is nice and easy to use, a mystery scenario is provided for each activity (which is great, I didn't have to make up my own), and there are questions provided for each activity.

I am using this book with my 13 year old daughter. She loves it. It is easy to set up the lessons and she is able to read and complete them on her own. She is having a lot of fun with it while learning what forensic scientists do.

This book is great with new and unique experiments (not same boring options as all the normal books). It's hard to find such a book. We're having fun with it at home and at Scouts.

This is fantastic! Perfect for homeschoolers too. Many of the activities can be done individually or in a group.

We used activites in this book for several of our programs, and found them to be easy to implement. The supplies needed are everyday, with the exception of a few items for which ideas for purchase are given. Perfect combination of hands on and background!

Extremely well organized, easy-to-follow lesson plans that actually work! WIth a manageable amount of prep time. Low tech, low budget, yet "cool." Good stuff, Karen Schulz. Thank you!! (And Go, Red Birds!)
