Court TV - Forensics in the Classroom
Welcome to Court TV's Forensics in the Classroom (FIC) Program
As part of its ongoing commitment to education, Court TV is pleased to bring forensics to high school science classrooms nationwide. This FREE, exciting new program conforms to nationally recognized standards and was developed as part of a continuing educational partnership with the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
The units serve as bridges between chemistry and real-life applications related to forensic investigations. As a result, the materials engage students by showing them how the structure of atoms, interactions of energy and matter, and chemical reactions all help to solve crimes.

The Mystery of the Missing Ming Vase

The Mystery of the Missing Ming Vase - forensic science activity - is an "off-the-shelf" teaching pack which teachers can download to use in the classroom for teaching chemistry to YEAR 8 (ages 12 to 13) students.
This folder includes posters, worksheets, guidance notes and equipment lists that can be photocopied as required.
The aim is to minimise the amount of preparation work needed by both the school and visiting chemists. The package is flexible and can be easily adapted to suit local circumstances and requirements.

Forensic Science - Use of soil - Secrets Hidden In Soil
Soil scientists, or pedologists, are primarily interested in the way the five soil forming factors (parent material, climate, topotgraphy, organisms, and time) affect the properties of the soil in its natural, undisturbed state.
However, Forensic Geologists study soil that has been disturbed or moved during human activity, to solve crimes. Forensic Geologists obtain soil samples from crime scenes and other sites in question where soil may have been transported, by vehicle or by foot perhaps, and are suspect.

Forensic Science Project
http://schoolnet.ca/vp-pv/fscience/e/intro.htm
Welcome to the Forensic Science Project.
This website is designed to provide teachers with a hands on science unit based on forensic science. During this unit students will have opportunities to work individually and in groups, develop their scientific skills, and participate in a research project with data they collect being sent to the forensic entomology department at Simon Fraser University.
There are 9 lessons in the unit with 1 or 2 exams that require the students to demonstrate their understanding of the lessons by solving a crime.
For each lesson there is also a student work sheet.
