Forensic Science Projects with a Crime Lab You Can Build (Build-A-Lab! Science Experiments)

The father of forensic science, Edmond Locard, proposed that every criminal leaves behind something at the scene of his crime, and carries away something from that crime. Robert Gardner teaches young forensic scientists how to build their own crime lab and how to do experiments that analyze evidence such as fingerprints and handwriting samples. The author further provides great ideas for individual science fair projects.
