Yes! Forensic Science does sound like a lot of fun! I'm sure the
students get pretty excited about it too.

It is the kids are really engaged from the beginning so it makes it
easy to keep their attention.
If anyone is interested in some easy lessons let me know.

I do a 1 day fingerprinting lesson with my 7th and 8th graders around
halloween where they figure out the pattern in their prints and ty to
find a couple individualizng marks.

Alexis, I think you said you used activities like the Human Dimension
project as part of the class. If foot size can be related to height
then a detective has a source for clues!

Check out these resources for forensic science:

Great activity with the fingerprints.
