EXPLORE!
FORENSIC LAB

Use forensic science to help solve Mad Science mysteries. Learn about cells as
you extract the DNA from wheat germ, make a model cell, and collect evidence
with your own “Inspectikit.” Reconstruct a mystery scene and the face of the
suspect with your “Whodunit” take-home kit. Examine footprints and use your
wn “Fingerprint Finder” to identify fingerprints left at the scene.
